A free hand architectural drawing on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen and coloured markers illustrating the initial strategy for the design of the school, showing a site plan in scale 1:500. The strategy addresses the most problematic issues and their suggested solutions:
- according to noise issue: soft area to be allocated towards the site's inner area, "noisy areas positioned along streets",
- new public car park planted with shrubs and trees along street edge,
- caretaker's house acting as control and closing off vista from lane,
- new pedestrian route and new vehicle access (buses, cars, ambulances, and service vehicles).
