The design follows the ungrid settlement pattern, organizing the site into distinct zones. The public node is a separate stepped area that serves as both circulation and seating, encouraging social interaction and gathering. The school occupies its own dedicated zone for focused learning. Level differences guide movement and define spaces without changing height. Patayati terraces, made of wood, planks, and soil, grow grass, provide insulation, and attract birds.Temporary storage structures and wall niches optimize space. Cow dung plaster softens pathways and adds natural aroma. Material contrasts create solid and light areas, while balconies and semi-open spaces define private zones, shaping a functional, eco-friendly environment.
