Location: Papua, Indonesia

Program: School Master Plan
Year: 2026
Located in Nabire, Central Papua, Indonesia, the Papua Hope School Campus Expansion envisions a new educational environment that supports the school's mission to nurture future generations of Papuan leaders. Set within a lush tropical landscape, the master plan integrates architecture, nature, and community to create a cohesive and adaptable learning environment.
Responding to the site's natural topography, vegetation, and waterways, the campus is organized into interconnected zones comprising academic buildings, shared facilities, student residences, and recreational spaces. Landscaped courtyards and pedestrian pathways encourage interaction and extend learning beyond the classroom.
The architectural language draws from the regional context through pitched roofs, shaded verandas, natural ventilation, and a restrained palette of locally appropriate materials. Designed for Papua's tropical climate, the buildings emphasize environmental responsiveness, durability, and simplicity.
Developed as a phased master plan, the project establishes a flexible framework for future growth while fostering a lasting sense of place, community, and belonging.
