About the Project

Brief: Winford World School, located in Batala, Punjab, is an educational institution designed by Studio Ardete and completed in 2021. The project encompasses a 9,000-square-foot area, focusing on creating dynamic and inspiring learning environments that move beyond conventional educational spaces.

Context: Situated in a region with a rich cultural heritage, the design aims to reflect the progressive educational philosophy of the institution while resonating with the local context. The school's expansive structure required a façade that not only stands out but also embodies the spirit of innovation and creativity inherent in modern education.

Approach: The design features a free-flowing geometry that explores forms beyond traditional educational spaces. The dynamic and majestic façade serves as a bold architectural expression, creating an immersive experience for students and visitors alike.

This approach transforms the building into a living sculpture, emphasizing the importance of inspiring educational environments.
