Given a challenging site that is triangular, the form positions itself to maximize the usable space with a logical yet interesting shape grammar. The vision was to accommodate the formal spaces on a level above, thus creating ample open spaces for experiential and informal learning at the ground level. The floating cylindrical volume on the first floor acts as a strong learning anchor.

The spaces are designed to accommodate the Montessori principles and creating an environment of warmth and comfort by harnessing natural light through the building and using natural materials to stimulate the senses.
