Discoveryland Pre School

Our architecture firm was presented with a unique challenge - to design a preschool in a densely populated area surrounded by vacant plots and a petrol pump. We approached this project with a direction-responsive strategy, taking into account the orientation of the sun and the client's preference for basic Vastu principles.

In addition, the preschool's design was heavily influenced by the client's desire for exposed brickwork and RCC finishes, as well as a strong focus on technology-driven smart classes. The final plan takes the form of a C-shaped module with a central garden space that serves multiple purposes, such as group prayers and assemblies.

As visitors approach the entrance porch foyer, they are greeted with sun breakers that create a unique pattern on the floor when the sun shines through, guiding them towards the central garden and other areas of the building. All classrooms have been designed with large openings to allow for natural light and ventilation, with South and West-facing openings layered with jali to control the amount of sunlight entering the classrooms.

We also made the most of the North light by creating a slanting roof slab, allowing for solar panels to be installed at an optimal angle towards the south. This innovative design feature ensures that the building can take advantage of renewable energy sources.

Our approach to this project showcases our firm's ability to seamlessly integrate traditional design principles with modern technology, resulting in a unique and functional preschool that meets all of the client's requirements. Overall, we are incredibly proud of our work and are confident that this design will serve as a testament to our dedication to creating innovative and sustainable structures.
