The developer asked us to design a highly efficient building, but also flexible for future developments. The building is designed to give a dynamic spatial experience for the students, to create a fun atmosphere and relaxing learning environment, which would develop them in their studies.

The classes are arranged to minimize the use of air conditioning by creating wind tunnels,and oriented to maximize natural lighting.
