British Senior School

British Senior School

The square-shaped part of the existing school is thoroughly renovated. In addition, a new section is laid out around an indoor sports hall, replacing former premises that had become obsolete. Between the two sections there is the greenhouse, a glass-covered area with a semi-outdoor climate. This area, which also serves as the central entrance, provides a view to a green zone alongside the nearby railway line.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky. (Jane Taylor, “The Star”)
