A village school for primary and middle school children, the design aims to capture the essence of a traditional village school, maintaining a humane and relatable scale. The majority of the school sits on a single storey, elevated on a high plinth, while the administration proudly stands in a two-storeyed block. Classrooms are arranged, embracing an entrance courtyard. Characterized by sloping roofs, this courtyard isn’t merely for aesthetics but serves as a focal point, a dynamic space for morning assemblies and various school gatherings. The overall aesthetic is one of openness and invitation, creating an environment conducive to learning, camaraderie, and a shared sense of pride.
