Design Approach

This new addition provides students with a modern cultural and recreational hub. The large brick multipurpose hall is strategically positioned between the playground and classroom blocks. Its foreground features a brick platform that seamlessly transitions into an open-air theatre on one side and a stepped gallery overlooking the playground on the other.

The multipurpose hall is meticulously designed for a hot, dry climate, offering flexible arrangements for various school activities. A double facade features a trellis along its exterior to provide essential shading and natural ventilation. This layered approach minimizes heat gain while maintaining a strong visual connection to the surrounding school campus.
