Circle Xinqiao Expatriate Children School

This aerial view presents an expansive architectural complex captured at twilight, organized as a sweeping elliptical building encircling central athletic facilities. Beginning with overall orientation, the structure forms a nearly complete oval ring, white in color suggesting contemporary materials, occupying the center of the composition. The building rises several stories with visible horizontal banding suggesting multiple floors, and warm amber light glows from numerous windows, creating the sensation of interior warmth against the cool evening air. Moving to the central courtyard space, a large athletic field displays alternating stripes of deep emerald and lighter sage green, the texture appearing as closely maintained grass. A running track, rendered in terracotta red suggesting rubberized surface material, wraps around the field's perimeter. Adjacent basketball courts appear in the lower left, their surfaces smooth and marked with white lines. The building's outer edge follows a continuous curve, its white surfaces catching remaining daylight while casting subtle shadows that suggest substantial depth and volumetric presence. Rooftop areas display patches of vegetation, appearing as dark green organic shapes providing textural contrast against smooth architectural surfaces. Surrounding the complex, dense tree coverage creates a forest-like buffer, the foliage appearing as deep green masses with occasional golden-lit specimens along roadways. Major boulevards extend from the site, their surfaces reflecting warm amber from streetlights, creating luminous rivers that lead toward distant urban areas visible as scattered points of light. Mountains rise in the background, their silhouettes rendered in progressively lighter blue-gray tones suggesting considerable distance, creating a sense of vast geographic scale. The sky transitions from deeper blue at upper edges to pale gray near the horizon, suggesting the quiet atmospheric quality of early evening. The overall sensation evokes a protected sanctuary of learning, glowing warmly within a landscape transitioning toward peaceful nightfall.

As the first international school in Hefei Airport New Area, it integrates the eastern philosophy of equality into architectural form and living conditions. In response to the large park and lake view on the west side, as well as the oval shape of the site, the building opens to the park in an embracing gesture. It innovatively makes all kinds of school life revolve around the central dynamic space. The school consists of two parts: the kindergarten is a separate building because it was built last; the middle school and primary school are in one building, surrounding the playground.
