AXIS PRAMITI
- The Purple Ink Studio

• The Axis Pramiti School is located at Kanakpura,
Bengaluru.
• Site Area – 1.2 Acres
• The Built-Up area is 14000 ft2 .
• The Architects are The Purple Ink Studio.
• Clients – Axis Concepts Construction PVT LTD.
• Design Team- Akshay Heranjal, Nishita Bhatia,
Aditi Pai, Jaikumar, Priyanka Bankapur, Nancy
James.
• The programmatic values of the school believe in
breaking away from the standard scholastic teaching
system.
• The design embraces the creative enterprise of ‘flexible
learning’ to cater to the needs of a heterogeneous group of
learners.
• The site is a land with steep sloping natural topography
and several existing trees making it an ideal setting for
imparting educating in a green environment.
• The premise is designed to be safe and close knit yet
completely flexible creating an encouraging and
interactive environment.
• Here the image shows the
design process of the Admin
and the Library.
• First the admin block is place
and then on addition to it
Library is given on the top of it.
• Green pockets and trees are
given in the open to sky court
to make the design nature
friendly.
• The roof is inclined to get the
north light to the library and
the Admin block.
• Brick Jali pattern is used in the
entire periphery for natural
light and ventilation.
• This image shows the
process and design
evolution of class-
rooms.
• A classroom block is
taken and divided
into 4 parts then,
breakout space is
given for both
classrooms.
• Then upper blocks are
added having the
solids and voids,
which are obtained
by staggering the
blocks.
Washrooms
Terrace
• The design process for the built forms were initiated by
understanding the climatology of the surroundings and are
planned make the best use of the existing local climate.
• The site is north facing and has a vast open space on the East
Walkways
side which is a designated playground area.
Classrooms • The design scheme is conceptualized on generating continuity
with the surroundings and drawing these lines into the
Classrooms interiors of the building.
Breakout Spaces • After Each classroom, breakout spaces are given, to make the
design nature friendly and learning more interesting.
• These breakout areas provide light to all the classroom spaces
Staircase Breakout Spaces and also enhances air movement due to induced ventilation
Science Lab
through the brick Jaali openings on the walls.
• All the common areas / corridors are treated as exterior
spaces and serve a dual purpose of being a climatological
feature and a strong aesthetic element.
• Science Lab and Computer Labs are given for more practical
and technical knowledge.
Computer Lab
Library
• The administrative hierarchy is conventional for ease in functioning while,
the learning spaces and the activity or extracurricular areas encourage
interpersonal contact between the students.
• Each learning space is organized around an outdoor court which enables the
extension of the indoor space into the outdoors either for additional
activities or to accommodate more students at a time within the same space.
• Each of these classrooms which are occupied through most part of the day
is climatically oriented and houses these semi-shaded courts, making spaces
comfortable to inhabit through the year.
• The lower levels have the administrative floors and spaces for art classes,
whereas, the upper levels house the facilities for additional activities like
the Laboratories, AV rooms, and Library.
• Both these levels are connected with a series of courts that are extendable
into outdoor learning areas, blend to become a green corridor where the
students can interact in a natural environment.
• The double height cut-outs in the corridors also work as light wells and
create a stack effect keeping the spaces well-lit and ventilated.
Material used
• The material palate is extremely understated, and the entire feel is organic with
natural light washing the exposed walls and ceilings with a spectacular play of light
and shadows.
• These spaces are further held together with a strong design language of exposed
Cement finishes, Pigmented Walls and Brick Jaali openings which merge the
interior and exteriors, quite literally.
• The flooring in all the main rooms is planned in Kota stones laid to design and the
common corridors are planned with smooth finished IPS flooring.
• Care has been taken to even minimize the use of Paints inside the premises, and the
colored walls are all simple pigmented cement finishes mixed during plastering.
• This allowed us to eliminated one complete layer that forms a major element in
buildings typically making it both economical and ecologically viable.
• The pergolas in the break-out spaces add theatre to the facade with the play of
shadows.
• The landscape is set to create a natural and productive environment where the learning can be extended to the outdoors making the students sensitive
to ecological factors by maintaining the biodiversity of the campus.
• The vegetation palette of the landscape is planned to cover the entire site beyond the building outline and also grows over the structure (as earth
berms) to soften the overall built form.
• The planting is structured as a 3 layered system with ground covers, shrubs and trees which helps in maintaining the biodiversity of the entire site.
• The planting palette concentrates on productive greens in certain areas, making the entire landscape experience interactive with the user all year
round.
• Externally, the hard paving is kept limited only to driveways
hereby allowing for maximum ground water recharge.
• Considering the sloping site conditions, the surface run-off
from the site and the over-flow from the adjacent site is
channelized through swales constructed in earth and stone
pitching to direct the water towards the near-by lake.
• The planting is planned to maintain the biodiversity within
the site.
• The areas near the play areas are buffered with a forest in
the Akira Miyawaki technique made with native species of
trees housing around 350 trees, the art workshop areas
extend into an organic farm - making farming an integral
part of the academics, the steeper sloped areas are managed
with sculpted earth in terraces that doubles up as cheering
and viewing areas for the linear sports area below shading
with foliage and flowering trees that extend to form the
backdrop of the performance areas.
The building thus functions as a
selective environmental filter,
enhancing the best components of the
regional climate to address heating
and ventilation needs and
thus reducing the dependency on
mechanical sources for ventilation
making it an efficient building.
