BRITISH SCHOOL OF BEIJING SHUNYI
CAMPUS COMMON SPACES
This project focuses on the renovation of the indoor corridor and attached public space connecting the two teaching buildings within the primary school of the British School of Beijing. The aim is to upgrade the frequently used transportation hub into a vibrant node with functionality, a sense of ceremony, and educational and cultural connotations through the deep integration of space optimization and brand value.

The connecting corridor serves as the core passageway linking the ground-floor lobbies of the two buildings and also provides access to the outdoor courtyard, making it a frequently used "transfer station" for teachers and students. The design, with the core objective of "continuing the BSB culture and enhancing the quality of the space," integrates the brand's color scheme into the spatial base. Soft and layered shades of blue (such as light blue and gray-blue) form the main theme of the space, echoing the school's international educational character while creating a familiar and reassuring sense of belonging for teachers and students.
The overall design uses "blue culture" as its base color, transforming it into an educational space that is both ceremonial and full of childlike fun. It is not only a physical passage connecting the two buildings, but also a link that conveys the spirit of the BSB brand, inspires students' curiosity and sense of belonging, and makes every walk a warm encounter with the campus culture.
