A school building goes beyond just brick and concrete. It is a reminder of a long-term relationship with a space filled with memories, cherished for a lifetime. Architects Meena Murthy Kakkar and Vishal Kakkar, Principal Architects, Envisage, have designed the Saraswati Global School, a landmark project in Faridabad, such that it sets new design standards whilst maintaining its legacy of over three decades. The front of the school building is narrow and widens to its side, adding more volume and creating a large impact as one passes by the campus. Ample layering on the facade generates mystery and interest, while the tapered form gives it a unique architectural identity. The design of the school strives to establish continuity, with a warm colour palette of rusty monotones and neutral grey, seamlessly blending in with its surroundings. “The two main aspects we had to keep in mind while designing this building was privacy, and natural light, considering the location,” says Meena.
