Use of PBM Ventilation & Hollow Blocks
In this project, the architectural team combined VB 191.100 and Hollow Block 90.05 (solid block) to form a textured screening wall system surrounding the swimming pool and recreational area.
These blocks were applied in both fencing and an elevated shading structure, offering:
•Passive shading and privacy for student zones
•Visual rhythm through alternating open (ventilated) and solid (non-ventilated) modules
•A consistent material palette with expressive patterning
