SK Presint 8 (3) Putrajaya is located on 6.5 acres of land next to high high-rise residential area in Presint 8 Putrajaya.
The design concept initiates sustainable environmental planning with a series of courtyards created from individual clusters of designated zones. The Academic and Administration zones are single-loaded circulation blocks with the corridors facing their respective courtyards. The central courtyard sandwiched between all blocks in the main complex is designed as a ceremonial open space. External building perimeter adopts double layer fenestration treatment to screen direct sunlight. The screen is designed with vertical lightweight precast panels, positioned at specific angles throughout the entire annual solar path. The double-volume entrance foyer aspires to be a retrospective rendition with a ‘sawtooth’ reinforced concrete roofing spanning 9 meters across between the Administration and the Grand Hall. The Grand Hall’s façade illustrates simplicity with plain walls and a series of rounded openings that resemble ‘dots’.
