Urdaa School. A colourful, sustainable space to accompany children as they grow up

Urdaa School's design is based on the following principles: students spend most of their day in a school building during their most crucial developmental years. During this crucial period of growth, the school must be a space for creative thinking, a source of inspiration and a starting point for the development of a sense of awareness and responsibility

A building characterized by a brick facade that creates a very natural effect and blends with the surrounding vegetation along with colored louvers that decorate and protect the windows, characterizing the building aesthetically and foreshadowing the function it houses inside. The colorful triangular flaps on the windows are reminiscent of decorative flags and add to the cheerfulness and delight

Much attention has also been paid to the sustainability of the school as a sustainable school also helps to improve the health and energy of students and staff, which is why great emphasis has been placed on using energy efficient materials. The presence of the large brick façade and the small amount of glazed surfaces helps to keep the interior warm

The window fins also help to provide shading and ensure abundant sunlight inside the classrooms. There are solar panels located above the Sports and Infirmary blocks, which make up 25% of the energy consumption. Colorful circular glazed elements help the classrooms that overlook the corridor to receive light while also performing an aesthetic function

The corridors have been designed in a linear way to connect all the classrooms at the same time and serve as spaces where children can play and learn in an interactive way with blackboard walls for doodling, drawing or writing. The corridor receives natural lighting and ventilation through the Jali brick wall at the end of the corridor
