The site was located amongst shop houses and residential buildings. Prior to the close down of the Covid-19 pandemic, it functions as a school. Since users were mostly children, spaces provided for activities were scaled down. This meant that the pre-existing structure consisted of small divided classrooms with low ceilings. The old building had full passive ventilation and lighting due to a series of windows going parallel with the hallways.

Since this school was relatively a story taller than all its surrounding buildings, it gave potential for a viewing area on the rooftop. On a walkthrough around the site, there were various minor businesses that cater towards food and beverage. This became the start of conceptual design.

The concept of cooking dynamic was studied to create a sense of activeness, transforming the previous structure into a lively cooking center. Two main keywords derived from this design approach was "linear" and "dynamic". To move smoothly means to create linear walkways with no obstruction, but also add character to its function as a work space with dynamics.

The ground floor is designed as an open plan, with a cafe occupying the atrium. Both users coming from the north and south wing of the site will firstly see a wide hang out area.

Gradually, the space is divided into exhibitions, studios, cooking zones, and libraries.

In elevation view, the pattern of linear dynamic facade is seen clearer. It completely wraps around the building in one big loop. Throughout the day, this pattern casts a unique shadow on the walls that follow the path of the sun.
