The 20.5 Acre School is located just of Main BEED Highway at Aurangabad Maharastra. The brief called for a World class institute providing top notch education & other extra curricular activites. The site is nestled in Aravali Mountains and the contours of the site presented unique design challenges to fulfill the brief.
Barrel Vault roofing system over classrooms is used as a primary design element to give the school distinctive look & feel. a The classrooms are arranged around a courtyard in semicircular fashion, thus giving each classroom block ample direct light & ventilation while maintaining proper privacy for teaching.
The complex consists of an Administrative Building, Primary School, Senior School, Sports Zone, O.A.T.Hostels, Staff Quarters, Principal's Bungalow & Lower Staff Quarters
“Barrel vaults for rhythm. A semicircular courtyard for light and privacy. An organic form for a mountainous site. Inspired by Ar B.V. Doshi. Built for Aurangabad.”
- Dr Rashmi B. Tandon
