Modern High School International / Studio SKLIM
Context - In Kolkata, India, the existing basketball courts of 'Modern High School for Girls' have been transformed into a 6-storey co-ed international school. Situated at a noisy and congested traffic intersection, the building's massing begins as a rectangular block with long elevations north/south and short elevations east/west. The choice of a north-south longitudinal orientation with east-west as the short frontage aims to maximize natural daylight in south-facing classrooms year-round and provides an elevated panoramic view of a recreational lawn and the broader cityscape of Kolkata.
