Dining areas spill out into shaded verandahs and landscaped courts, encouraging outdoor use and natural ventilation, while covered walkways connect seamlessly with surrounding sports fields and communal spaces. Inside, clear zoning separates kitchen operations from social areas, ensuring efficiency without compromising comfort.
