City Pride School / A Threshold
This primary educational institution, known as City Pride School, is situated in the newly developed region of Ravet Pradhikaran, Pune, characterized by densely populated urban neighborhoods. The school occupies a compact, high-rise urban landscape where the scarcity of space and significant commercial value necessitated a six-story design, limiting the availability of horizontal open and communal areas. In response to this challenge, the architectural design embraces a "school within a school" philosophy, structuring the building in a manner that ensures the spatial scales are perceived as intimate, thereby enhancing the learning environment. This approach aims to cultivate a self-sufficient educational setting that promotes a sense of community and interconnectedness.
