Campus Lozen Park
Campus Lozen Park is located in the developing Lozen Park district on the outskirts of Sofia, an area with high environmental quality and strong potential for a sustainable community. Developed in partnership with International School Uwekind and as part of the Residential Park Lozen masterplan, the campus serves as the educational and social center of the neighborhood, combining a school, a kindergarten, and administrative facilities within a unified architectural complex.
The architectural concept of IPA - Architecture and more is based on the idea of an open learning environment where education, social interaction, and community life intersect. Instead of forming a single compact mass, the complex is organized as a composition of low-ri... More

Biassono Primary School
The project for the new primary school in Biassono reimagines the educational environment as an open and inclusive civic space, capable of fostering learning, social interaction, and community life. Conceived as more than a traditional school building, the proposal integrates educational spaces with public functions, creating a contemporary hub for both students and citizens.
The architectural concept is organized around a clear and legible spatial structure, designed to encourage orientation, interaction, and flexibility. Educational areas are complemented by shared facilities, including a municipal library conceived as a place for reading, study, and collective participation, strengthening the relationship between the school and the wide...

Šielâ school
"The Inari Sámi name Šielâ could be translated as a birth gift given to a newborn for protection."
Šielâ, a new school center, was the answer to the need to replace an old, 1960s school decommissioned due to indoor air problems. The approximately 165 pupils of the new comprehensive school study in Inari Sámi, North Sámi and Finnish languages, and the multilingual environment and annually varying class sizes posed special challenges to the design of the learning facilities.

Nuova Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado
The project begins from a project competition AWN (Archiworld Network), organized by the Municipality of Alpago in 2018, to contrast the depopulation phenomenon by investing in educational buildings.

The new school develops around the theme of “covered square”, following a primitive idea of settlement, constituted by a volume suspended on four nuclei, which produces a covered space in direct continuity between inside and outside, with the function of a civic center in extracurricular hours.

Arts and Sciences Laboratories
The project involves a retrofit to create three art labs and one science lab, focused on physics and biology, in a school building constructed in the 1960s at Colégio Santa Maria in São Paulo. Originally designed as a laboratory for cooking classes, the building’s uses have been progressively adapted over time, while preserving its essential purpose as an educational space dedicated to practice, experimentation, and active learning.

Swan Hill Specialist School
Swan Hill Specialist School is an educational hub on the lands of the Wamba Wamba, Latji Latji, Tatti Tatti, Wadi Wadi and Barapa Barapa peoples in the Murray region of Victoria. During the planning stages of the project, the foremost priority of the school administration was expanding the project of 'inclusion' and focusing on 'ability' rather than disability. Tying in with student achievements in sports and hospitality, the school is regularly the host of local community events, with the student-run cafe/kitchen a staple of the community schedule. Thus, one of the primary ambitions of the masterplan was to re-establish the school as a social landmark within the Swan Hill community.

Syndal South Primary School
Syndal South Primary School is an educational hub in the leafy urban area of Mount Waverley on the lands of the Woi Wurrung Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the new Block A building of Syndal Primary School replaces an aging asbestos laden LTC building with new Administrative offices, Junior Classrooms, and a publicly accessible Library. The design proposal aims to contextualise the proposed Block A in its suburban setting by incorporating familiar domestic archetypes of the front porch and the verandah into circulation spaces and thresholds. The majority of the spaces are consolidated under a single roof which pitches north and south in deference to the neighbourhood street and to avoid overshadowing existing hardcourt play areas....

Suolahti comprehensive School
The Suolahti comprehensive school was designed in close cooperation with its future users and city representatives. The goal was to make the premises as flexible, multifunctional and efficient as possible, as well as economically and structurally sustainable.

The old side of the school represents a straightforward, markedly 70s style building. A new part was designed to strike the same chord while reflecting the softer values of the present. A red-brick facade and strip windows tie the extension to the old side of the architecture, and the extension does not rise higher than the original school.

Saint Ann's Maker Space
Our redesign of the Saint Ann’s School Maker Space embraces the idea that this central learning center should be a destination for students and faculty alike, and a space of proactive provision for its many potential uses. We tapped into the explorative ethos of the school; its new visual identity; and extensive faculty conversations to transform it into a nimble, multi-use arena for play and learning.

American School Foundation of Guadalajara Phase 1
The new American School Foundation Guadalajara (ASFG) building represents a forward-looking vision for education, serving a community of 1,500 students in a vertically developing urban area. This seven-story structure doubles existing academic space, maximizes green areas, and provides state-of-the-art facilities that embody 21st-century education.
Its vibrant colors, sculptural form, and clean design draw inspiration from Guadalajara's rich cultural heritage. Integrating abundant vegetation, the building creates a healthy environment that improves air quality and uses new trees for natural shading, connecting students to nature in an urban setting for mental rejuvenation.

Rural School in Oaxaca
The project is based on thinking about what educational spaces should be like today. From this idea, we start by creating shade – a roof supported by a flexible, lightweight, and open structure that encourages interaction between people, nature, and architecture. The building adapts to the existing conditions of the site and connects the outside and inside by blurring their boundaries. In a playful way, the design opens up completely, letting the wind flow through, allowing filtered light to enter, and creating a stronger connection with the surrounding landscape.
