Project overview

Designed to serve students from grades 6 to 1, the New Pinewood School reflects a multicultural ethos, fostering social interaction and spontaneous gatherings. Its modern architectural expression combines bold colors, light steel structures, concrete elements, and expansive curtain walls. Despite its contemporary language, the design harmonizes with the campus's existing buildings and the historic garden.

Project history

The project is a result of a closed competition, having received the 1st Prize (2020). The project has been completed and received students in September 2024. The design of the School has created an inviting environment for the students, who have felt the project as home since the first day, The enclosed atrium with the amphitheater steps, as well as the open air atrium create spaces for gathering and informal interactions. At the same time, the new school acts as a meeting point for the campus, since it is in the meeting point of the historical axis and the stadium, and it offers multiple spaces for sitting outdoor.
