The school won the award for its simplicity of construction but a quite innovative amphibious structure made of bamboo was adjudged one of the six winners of the 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The most unique thing is the project is built on a site that remains submerged by three-meter of water a third of the year on average. The structure was built using very simple materials - different varieties of bamboo, recycled tires and steel drums. The innovative part of the structure is that it rises with the water level. The structure expands on about 486 square metres.
