Children’s education and development in life and society are greatly influenced by their school, which serves as a second home. Let’s stroll around Rajkot, Gujarat’s LAED International School, located at Saurashtra University Gate. The playschool illustrates how to deviate from the conventional solid elevation design approach.

The project is the addition of a façade. The design approach for the façade recreation was inspired by the idea of playfulness of children. The essence of innocence and friskiness should be reflected in the physicality.

The façade indulges various lines and forms, making it interactive and proactive for the students to engage with and then with themselves too.

The nature of a solid wall is breaking through lines, forms, and windows, creating their own stories with their own unique nature in the façade. The metal door and windows create a unique experience between the inside and outside making it more of playschool.
