DISCIPLINES
Marlborough College Malaysia is the first international campus of the historic Marlborough College in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Set within a 35-hectare site, the campus integrates academic, arts, and sporting facilities into a cohesive architectural landscape that responds to Malaysia’s tropical climate and terrain.
ARCHITECTURE
The Sixth Form Centre is a two-storey open-plan academic and recreational hub, with the design adopting a contemporary interpretation of colonial and tropical principles. These principles respond to the geographical and climatic context of Malaysia with shaded verandas, generous overhangs, and naturally ventilated spaces that maximize daylight while mediating heat gain.
