Site sections
• Each classroom was uniquely designed to allow
for a different experience every year as the
children grow.

• The classrooms are notionally divided into two spaces- one is the learning space and a
smaller secondary space for group discussions. This division is achieved by changes in
the colour of the cement floor.
• Most of the classrooms access a semi open space which is either a verandah or a
screened balcony. Balconies connecting classrooms are designed with angled vertical
louvers so as to minimize glare but allow breeze through.
• Windows facing the west and north façade are shaded with vertical and horizontal shading devices respectively
to cut off the heat gain and the glare in the classrooms.

• The library is in the basement to which is attached a calming space of a meditation room. The axis of the administrative section
of the building is broken from the academic section to block direct visibility and thereby introduce a surprise element. Various
elements are introduced in the design nudging the children into learning through play.
• The porous wall between the corridor and the music room invites the kids to climb which helps develop their upper body
strength. The kitchen and dining are in a separate block due to their functionality. This is a tall space which is also used as a
badminton court.
Materials
When exploring material for the façade, the criteria was for it to be locally
available bricks and concrete, reflect an institutional character and be
economical.

According to the images and stated by


architects main materials used are bricks and
concrete and glass
