Lakeshore Learning Center

Lakeshore Learning Center is a campus coffee shop and study room in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. The project renovated two unfinished buildings that had stood in the center of a valley campus for decades. The existing structures were preserved and clad with light-colored ceramic panels and glass curtain walls. Roof overhangs and double skins form a sunshade system that improves the indoor environment. Existing vegetation was kept, and steep lakeshore slopes were turned into small plazas. The building area is 899 square meters.

Lakeshore Learning Center Campus Coffee Shop and Study Room by THAD was selected as an innovative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award.
