Matrix Design and the King’s School Canterbury Shenzhen International jointly built a a school combining Chinese historical elements and British school philosophy. They are committed to building an ecological, green, intelligent modern school with the 21th century international education, the advanced teaching concepts and the highest teaching skills. The concept of "contemporary brain science" has been applied in the design, adopting low-density buildings, large green plant layout, distinctive vertical zoning, and multiple vacant courtyard style treatments that echo the British headquarters.

The school covers an area of 24000 square meters, with a total construction area of more than 50000 square meters. It is a twelve year boarding school covering primary school, junior high school and senior high school. It is the first time that King Canterbury School has set up a branch school overseas, that is, the first branch school. There are facilities such as science centers, sports centers, music centers, and art centers with a future education perspective and the characteristics of King's School, emphasizing the balanced development of students. Comfortable environment and inspiring space, the school combines humanistic care, greatly enhancing students' sense of security and happiness.

Schools are places where children feel safe, where they are willing to try and make mistakes, and where they interact and interact with peers and adults in an increasingly virtual world. This is a quite serious challenge, but through the school's design, these goals can be achieved The indoor corridor is bright and tidy, with beige walls wrapped in wooden texture boards, creating a warm and rustic spatial atmosphere. Starting from the details, it provides students with a safe and comfortable campus space, ensuring the physical and mental safety of students.

The entrance hall is at the center of the campus, whose layout helps form a three-dimensional space. Nicely designed entrance hall gives visitors the enjoyment of beauty. Walking into the campus, the main entrance will be illuminated by the natural daylight through the glass ceiling, making the space lively and dynamic. The Health and Welfare Center as a positive symbol is the central of the school. It is divided into tea area, art exhibition area and meditation area. It uses stained glass, carefully designed beams and columns, bamboo carpet, low stools and STEELCASE furniture, which adds warmth and comfort to the space. With bright, clean main color, the interior has diversified space, which carries the meaning of education. The King's School adheres to a highly transparent teaching method, thus paying particular attention to its material and furniture. Its double-sided French windows brighten the space, and its Harkness table creates flexible layout so as to conveniently meet different needs and provide more chances for students to have discussion in class. The library has a rich collection of books, and it expands the capacity of the library every year. The music center includes a concert hall, recording studio, orchestra room, piano room, etc. Music is a natural auditory stimulation for children. These facilities can help organize musical activities and thus inspire students to feel the beauty of music.

A good educational environment not only requires a reasonable spatial environment to support it, but also plays a crucial role in designing and educating children's physical and mental health. After rigorous discussion and reasonable planning with the school, we have created a physics classroom with modern intelligence that can avoid experimental accidents.
