Site Environment: "Picturesque Mountain Scenery" - Victoria Park Academy is the first school of Victoria (China) Education Group in Shenzhen.  Located on the north side of Dananshan Mountain in Nanshan District, adjoining Li Lin Park and Dananshan Park, the outdoor space features a soccer field, a basketball court/ tennis court/ athletic field, and a running track. When students step out of the classroom, they are embraced by natural and peaceful mountain scenery, enhancing their connection to nature.  The original red brick building consists of two gymnasiums, and in the design renovation, AG preserves the original gable roof structure, which is a series of M-shaped gables that echo the hills where the site is set.  Making the most of the natural setting of the site, the design takes inspiration from it and tries to create a harmonious environment with students and teachers at its core.  The new campus design tries to promote social interaction and collaboration, and at the same time, bring nature seamlessly into the campus.
