Thanekar School
Area: 5000sqft (part proposal)
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra
​
The school's thematic concept was ingeniously crafted to provide a warm welcome to children and their families, with a focal point on the reception area inspired by the enchantment of a forest.
​
The design aimed to immerse users in the experience of walking through a forest, utilizing existing structural elements like columns as symbolic tree trunks. The false ceiling, creatively shaped to emulate foliage, served as a significant element in manifesting this thematic concept.
​
Other structural components played dual roles, acting as informative surfaces and housing services, such as reception desks, display panels, and furniture.
​
Given the diverse age group of 3-14 that the school caters to, the space was thoughtfully designed. Open multipurpose rooms and collaborative classrooms were incorporated, featuring a vibrant spectrum of colors and interactive furniture.
This approach not only caters to the varying needs of different age groups but also promotes an engaging and dynamic learning environment within the school premises. The thematic design not only captures the imagination but also enhances the overall educational experience for the students and their families.
