The idea is to create a breakthrough in Education, moving this project out of typical school design by having a Classroom in the Forest where students are not only gaining knowledge in classroom but also having opportunities to gain knowledge in a Forest. Teachers can take students to the rooftop garden to teach here instead of having to learn only within 4 walls of a classroom. Beside the school's link with Oxford university in the UK provides students the dream curriculum that they could have to nurture students from their early primary grade to aim for their future of attending one of the best universities in the world. The Architecture from there has taken inspiration from Oxford colleges' architecture to integrate into the school spaces and forms.
From outside, children would not feel this is a school or they have to go school, they would then feel this is a beautiful-castle like place to be in with a forest on top to explore
The multifunctional hall is designed to be fluxed with natural light throughout the day with a contemporary mix with Gothic sense bringing a different experience for any events that can take place here
The colorful glazed corridor also brings uniqueness
