Set in a tight plot. The building was to serve as classroom spaces for primary children with a hall at the second floor level. The final user being the small children lead to the thinking of two scales for the window openings. The small ones at lower levels where the children feel in touch with the outside and the large ones recessed for the west facades at the slab level to allow in the necessary reflected natural light. Painting the façade by drawing inspiration from the great Indian artist Reza’s paintings animated the almost regimental façade to celebrate the coming together of the small angels under one roof.
The curved nature of the roof sets the building free from its box like image and makes it meet with the sky above without any sharpness.
