Details
It takes a village to raise a child. In accordance with this African proverb, the nursery, primary school, and sports hall are grouped around a central village square, forming a cohesive ensemble. The spatial integration with the urban environment allows the school’s open spaces to be used for multiple purposes as public-gathering and play areas. The light-filled atrium, situated centrally within the multi-angled building, is the heart of the school, and natural surfaces characterise the atmosphere.
