"The design is structured around the integration of a developing forest within the campus. Vegetation is incorporated as an active component of the architecture, shaping both spatial experience and environmental performance."
"Vertical planting systems are installed along cable frameworks, forming a layered green facade that evolves over time. This vegetated envelope contributes to shading, cooling, and air filtration while establishing a visual and physical connection between students and the surrounding landscape."
"Pentaspace Design Studio centers spatial organization on an open courtyard that connects classrooms on either side. This central void operates as a shared outdoor space, supporting a range of activities including play, movement, and informal learning."
"The campus operates on solar energy, achieving a net-zero energy balance, showcasing the integration of environmental strategies at multiple scales."
Heartfulness International School in Hyderabad, designed by Pentaspace Design Studio, emphasizes ecological design by integrating architecture with landscape. The school features a developing forest on campus, with vegetation as an active architectural component. Vertical planting systems create a green facade that enhances shading, cooling, and air filtration. Material selection focuses on durability, using exposed concrete for thermal mass. The design includes an open courtyard for shared activities and operates on solar energy, achieving net-zero energy efficiency.
