Located in the western part of Mexico City, Tarbut School required a multifunctional building to host both sports and cultural activities in covered spaces. The project takes advantage of the natural topography: at the access level, a multipurpose hall and a gymnasium are situated; on the lower level, there is a multimedia classroom, artistic activity areas, and a screening room. The design emphasizes horizontality through continuous bands—both opaque and translucent—and a play of geometries that establish a hierarchy of functions, breaking away from the building’s inherent orthogonality. A contemporary stained-glass feature, designed specifically for children, stands out by creating an interior “play” of light and color. At different times of the day, the wooden floor is bathed in colorful light streaks that shift with the seasons, enriching the spatial experience. The architectural language is modern and functional, conceived to fully integrate into Tarbut’s community life.
