Text description provided by the architects. Northstar Nest is a kindergarten campus located in Rajkot, Gujarat. This rectangular site of 8000 sqft has the Stilt +3 floor building oriented in the east – west direction. The play area and garden are located on the west side of the plot demarcated for open space reserve and the building is located on the east. All amenities were housed within the limited area available with three classrooms on every floor. A trompe l’ oeil has been tried out with the overall massing to make this Stilt+ 3 floors look bigger than it is. Horizontal ribs/fins run across the entire periphery acting like a brise-soleil, reducing heat generated on the walls.
