Description
- It is a L-shaped courtyard located between busy streets.
- The transformation involved increasing the biodiversity through different types of vegetation along with multiple types of seating.
- The awnings and windows of the existing school building has been painted with a distinct red color. This has continued in the courtyard as well with the inclusion of red elements.
