Shiv Nadar School, Chennai

India

  • Age range: 3-14
  • Type: Day school
  • Gender: Coeducational

Research has proven that closeness to nature can profoundly impact a child’s physical and emotional well-being and cognitive understanding. Calm surroundings stimulate the senses and create a context to bring out the most creative forms of self-expression.

For the 14-acre campus at Chennai, we are focused on leveraging the richness of the green environment to enrich learning outcomes. We turned to Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. B V Doshi, who readily agreed to conceptualise and design the campus. Dr. Doshi has played a crucial role in shaping India’s sustainable architecture discourse. In keeping with his philosophy, the school building will be a blend of aesthetic sensibilities with a sustainability focus.

Outdoor and indoor spaces would flow seamlessly, integrating the overall landscape and making room for existing trees and plants. Around three-fourths of the total area will be enclosed in green cover.
