Nef Primary School was built with a limited budget. Before Nef, there was a smaller school at the same location but it was not answering the needs of public. So Nef was built at the same location to answer the public's need.
The building consists 3 masses that located around the courtyard. The library settled at the basement and because of the level difference it gets natural light during the day. The three masses defines the courtyard, which is also a sports area, and this courtyard aims to create a public space and encourage neighborhood to use this space when students don't.

The main ide of the design was create a real open public space, not just for students but also for the neighborhood.
