Buddhi School follows Edexcel based education, and inclusive education is a core belief. Therefore, the school is designed to be completely accessible. The building is constructed over the existing rock on site, keeping the foundation cost low, and leaving the soft earth as a play area. The open north-eastern side of the building lets in the morning sun into the classrooms. The longer south and west facades create a shaded courtyard to facilitate outdoor activities. The design creates various spaces to enable learning through playscapes.
Various types of harvesting and waste water treatment structures are incorporated, connecting with the land features. One underground tank harvests rooftop rainwater for cooking and drinking purposes while another collects filtered stormwater, used for irrigating the native landscape. The largest water demand – toilet flushing, is met with treated black water, making the school largely water self-sufficient.
