The Campus Taguatinga of the Elementary School IDEAL offers social spaces and experiences that enhance academic life for today’s teenager students.

The retrofit guaranteed symbolic value and prominence in the landscape of a busy urban center. The existing building was covered with perforated metal tiles preserving the entrance of natural light and ventilation without giving up the students' privacy or outside visualization

The metallic and continuous facade reveals the institution's commitment to technology and sustainability by using innovative materials.

The colors and diagonal markings combine these aspects with a playful atmosphere that the children are inserted in. Also reinforcing this atmosphere, the corridors received colored panels that sometimes serve as built-in lockers
