Lakeshore Learning Center

Lakeshore Learning Center is a campus coffee shop and study room in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. The project renovated two unfinished buildings that had stood in the center of a valley campus for decades. The existing structures were preserved and clad with light-colored ceramic panels and glass curtain walls. Roof overhangs and double skins form a sunshade system that improves the indoor environment. Existing vegetation was kept, and steep lakeshore slopes were turned into small plazas. The building area is 899 square meters.
