FK Schools-Classroom Proposal

Location: Dar es Salaam
Year: 2019
Designer(s): Iddi Kimweri & Steve Missaga

In this project, color was our central theme, as we all know their effect on mood, emotion, and productivity, which can play a crucial part in creating a learning environment, especially for children.

Classrooms were organized around a courtyard and visually linked by different colorful elements throughout the design, like colored vertical louvers running along the architectural promenades, protecting the structure from solar heat gain and colorful window casings covering windows from weather agents. The interiors were joyful with bold hallways, bright furniture/building materials, and colorful ceilings. The overall look of the classrooms was magical-an excellent place for learning and playing.
