When we began designing Emirates National School in Fujairah, the client’s vision was clear they wanted a campus that would feel vibrant and inspiring while staying rooted in cultural identity. From our very first workshop, we worked hand in hand with the school leadership, listening to how they envisioned daily life for their students and staff. They wanted spaces that felt open and bright, with an architecture that would encourage curiosity, creativity, and community.

When we first sat down with the client to discuss the Dubai Nursery School in Al Barsha, the brief was clear yet inspiring create a space that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and comfort for children, while standing out as a landmark in the community. From the very beginning, the client was deeply involved in shaping the concept, bringing in ideas from their own educational philosophy and sharing insights from teachers and parents.
