The classrooms act as boundary walls to the community. The wall made and given by the mhada,is adapted in different ways by the school. As you enter the school, to the left it becomes a corner for a drinking water facility for the students. The houses at the edge of the school have their domestic activities spill over into the lanes creating private and intimate spaces. The lanes are used mainly for water storage, for drying clothes, and washing utensils. The openings (towards the lanes)in the walls of the classrooms remain closed due to these domestic activities. The new block that is built from donated materials is independent of the existing boundary wall and the space between becomes a storage

The intent is to develop the site with the architecture of water. To smudge the edges, to penetrate the context, to flow in the neighborhood​
