SBLM designs The Bath Beach School, a 102,000-square-foot educational facility built on the same lot as PS 748, turning a compact site into a complete environment for learning. The team creates a carefully planned structure that complements the existing school while establishing its own identity through balanced massing and thoughtful detailing.
