The School KFI was awarded the IGBC Green School certification with the highest Platinum rating by the Indian Green Building Council in 2018.
The campus is an embodiment of founder J. Krishnamurti’s sentiment “If you lose touch with nature, you lose touch with humanity”.
An entry through and defined by existing trees on a path made from repurposed construction waste.
Earthy and unique aesthetics attained from the rustic charm of exposed building materials.
The beauty of organic forms and sweeping curves that allow a sense of freedom and blend effortlessly with nature!
A campus that relates to nature and leverages state-of-art technologies to ensure holistic environmental sustainability.

A design for a school must be honest with a dash of style, unobtrusive yet speaking of sustained attention; and invisible – allowing the non-building to emerge. Its material must be earth, space, tree and sky. This is how I see the design of The School KFI in its new campus at Thazhambur.
There is the necessary conviction in environmentally sustainable practices, the determined light touch; and there is the practical and wise experience of years of work in construction and project management. Our association with Green Evolution has been for us a source of confidence and delight.
