for the school's feeding program in the Kitchen gardens placed in the edges of the plot,
reducing the use of water and land. The pre-primary school is off-grid maximizing natural
lighting and ventilation for comfort of pupils and caregivers and to enhance stimulation and
concentration. A longitudinal skylight facing south provides ideal zenith indirect light, which
added to the big windows allow for adequate lumens on table surface.
