Project Details
Located in the Yusof Ishak (main admin) block, the Raffles Archives Museum and Memorial Garden are conjoined by a conceptual circle arcing through both areas, establishing the presence of a larger precinct by reducing the delineation between interior and exterior space.

Passing through an arbour dressed in Bauhinia Kockiana and Cassia Fistula, the memorial garden is a choreographed venn-diagram of outdoor classrooms - containing a sundial in memory of the garden's donor, learning courtyards and plant beds to serve teaching by adjacent Science & Biology Labs, and informal seating as respite from nearby classrooms and staff rooms.
