Nur-Sultan Primary School

The configuration of the school layout reveals a clear functional scheme with an elongated double tract of classrooms connected over a two-story entrance to the spaces intended for physical education on one side and to the administration on the other.

The schools’ position on the site valorises the main road, forming the entrance square in relation to it. A two-story glass front of the entrance hall is retracted below a deck formed by the last floor classrooms. The entrance hall is envisioned as a central area connected to the lunch room and the library, creating a broad multifunctional space.

The gallery concept of the floors communication allows daylight to pass from the roof skylights to the ground floor, making the whole communication zone pronouncedly illuminated. The basic staircase communications are located linearly by the gallery.
