Sherborne School, Doha, Qatar

By: Farrow Partnership Architects
Nadia Tobia: Project Director, Senior Designer while a Partner with Farrow Partnership
Area: 27,000 sqm.

Sherborne School project in Doha was a competition design for a new preparatory and senior school, including administration spaces, a sports hall, a health centre, common areas, swimming pools, outdoor sport fields and boarding houses. The project design focused on creating a main courtyard gathering space and several smaller courtyards arranged in a modular manner with learning spaces that are flexible and expandable. The overall setting of the spaces was inspired by Arabic calligraphy patterns. Sustainability was incorporated on many levels, including the promotion of education and awareness to the students through building design and programming.
