Description:

Pimento International Academy—a new private K–12 school campus designed for a small student population, focused on global awareness, sustainability, and experiential learning. The brief called for an adaptable design that could be delivered on a tight timeline. The solution was to construct the campus using repurposed shipping containers, creating a modular system that “touches the earth lightly” and minimises site impact. The project is currently under construction, and we’re proud of how it reflects both design ingenuity and environmental sensitivity under real-world constraints.
