Enhancing the sensation of traversing a landscaped terrain, a white tree stands underneath an illuminated disc in the middle of the open-plan craft classroom that is ensconced in the corner space of the L-shaped plan, while the juxtaposition between the all-white interiors of the enclosed classrooms and the timber-clad corridor further heightens the sense of wonderment.
Further along, the corridor acquires a more linear, narrower layout, flanked on both sides by a series of white arches behind which private piano classrooms are housed. Designed as small caves, the white barrel-vaulted classrooms ensure the acoustic quality that the piano lessons require.

At the end of the corridor, a large dance studio abandons the introverted sensibility and the curved shapes of the other classrooms for a rectangular space that opens up to the city beyond through floor-to-ceiling glazing. A mirrored wall and an increased ceiling height, which contrary to the rest of the school does not hide the service ducts but rather assimilates them by uniformly paintings them grey, instil a sense of spaciousness further boosted by the views of the surrounding cityscape.
