Vidya

Vidya is an admission centre for international students — a building whose first job is to welcome. The ground floor is almost entirely glazed, so the reception, meeting spaces and workstations are on show from the forecourt: an office that feels open before you have even walked in.

Above, the upper floor is wrapped in horizontal louvres that filter the sun and give the building a clean, layered face, capped by a thin cantilevered roof. A curved white wall at the corner carries the institution’s emblem and softens the approach.

An office that feels open before you have even walked in.

Set against a green hillside, the building keeps its palette light and its lines simple, letting transparency and shade carry the design.
