Nepal School Project

ArchStorming Competition 2025

With Juan Pablo Isabella Lopez

On Nepal’s subtropical plains, a bamboo school rises lightly from the earth, blending with its surroundings while offering a sustainable, low-cost model for remote communities. A multipurpose room on an elevated platform doubles as a classroom and a stage, wrapped by a wide veranda that extends learning and gatherings outdoors. An elevated spine connects open-plan rooms, interspersed with courtyards, niches, and verandas that soften boundaries between inside and out. Built on a modular bamboo grid with interchangeable panels, the school adapts to changing needs. Open and inviting, it celebrates local craftsmanship while uniting education, community, and nature in an evolving, flexible form.
