Vidyakula International School / Sudaiva Studio

Upon initial presentation of the site for the proposed international school, the captivating view along the principal east-west axis to the distant 'Haddina Kallu' hills influenced the design approach. Located in rural Karnataka, spanning 4 acres and situated off the National Highway NH75, the site features a tree-lined landscape sloping 30 feet towards the west. Working with the sloping terrain, the design was thoughtfully crafted as a series of interconnected levels. The central spine, which is open to the sky and runs linearly, is flanked by classrooms and offers framed views of the hills from both the reception area and classroom corridors.
