Our journey with the City Pride School Moshi is a heartfelt one since it marks our first venture into full-fledged brick exploration projects. Upon our initial visit to the site and hearing the brief for a primary and secondary school, we were immediately drawn to the idea of creating a raw and playful exterior that captures the carefree essence of childhood. It seemed only natural that brick would be the perfect medium for this vision, prompting us to delve into extensive research on various brick exterior projects to craft an innovative and captivating facade, complete with intricate jali designs.
However, our excitement encountered its first hurdle when the directors expressed reservations about the concept of a brick exterior. Thankfully, a visit to a renowned architectural project in Vadodara, Gujarat, showcasing exceptional brickwork, persuaded them to take a leap of faith and trust this experimental process.
The success of the project led to another exciting opportunity: designing the City Pride School in Ravet. While both schools share a similar design ethos, the site conditions here in Moshi allowed us to incorporate ledges, arches, and larger skylights, further enhancing the architectural charm and functionality of the space.
