We design learning spaces that breathe, carefully integrating classrooms with the existing landscape and the daily rhythm of school life.

The single classroom addition at RBANMS primary school, alive with the energy of children. The elevated classroom creates a sheltered play area underneath, and the design is light, playful, and built around the existing jackfruit tree.

About Educational & Community Projects

The RBANMS primary school extension illustrates our commitment to site-integrated design. By elevating the classroom on a lightweight steel structure, we preserved the playground floor and allowed the existing jackfruit tree to define the space, rather than removing it to make room for construction. This approach ensures the building serves the existing community without compromising the open, breathable play areas children rely on.
