The project for the Beacon School stems from the combination of an innovative pedagogical approach with a built heritage located in a former industrial neighborhood in the central area of São Paulo. The program envisions a school for approximately one thousand students, ranging from early childhood education to high school, including elementary education. All students are accommodated in an inclusive space that simultaneously provides the specific infrastructure for each educational stage and fosters integration among students of different ages.

The integration proposal goes even further: it encourages a permanent closeness among students, teachers, coordinators, and staff. The property consists of a complex of industrial warehouses, currently out of use. While these warehouses may appear rustic and oversized for the scale of children, they also represent a generous and solidly built heritage.
