Our London studio recently partnered with non-profit Yuva Unstoppable to design a primary school for underprivileged children in Mumbai. This pro-bono project, completed through our corporate responsibility program, HOK Impact, will provide educational opportunities for up to 200 co-ed students when it opens this year. The climate- and site-responsive design focuses on simplicity and flexibility. Red brick and concrete comprise the main material components. Jali screens along the southern elevation will support natural ventilation and reflect the local architectural vernacular. HOK’s in-house sustainability experts performed extensive environmental and climate analysis of the site to optimize thermal comfort while balancing daylight and mitigating solar heat gain. Solar shading over the facade and verandas reduces heat within the classrooms. “This project is an amalgamation of great minds and hearts that will see the creation of a safe and happy haven of education for hundreds of students,” said Amitabh Shah, founder of Yuva Unstoppable.
