Spring Meadows School, Dwarka – A Facade Reimagined by Unistone
A Modern Transformation with Sustainable Vision
In August 2021, Spring Meadows School in Dwarka, Delhi, underwent a significant transformation to upgrade its external facade, bringing together design, durability, and environmental responsibility. Spearheaded by Architect Kunal Kohli of Vikaspuri and executed in close coordination with the school as the direct client, this project stands as a benchmark in facade modernisation for educational institutions.
A Bold Facade Using SAFS by Unistone
Unistone was entrusted with the design, manufacture, and installation of a complete facade solution using its proprietary SAFS – Solid Aluminum Facade System. The objective was not only to enhance aesthetics but also to ensure longevity, safety, and functionality.

Design & Material: Beauty Meets Strength
The school’s facade was clad using two signature aluminium profiles:
- X-Line 180 mm – For a minimal, clean-lined aesthetic.
- Deep Groove Wide 180 mm – To create rhythm and variation with linear depth.
- Custom Drip Corners – Ensured elegant detailing from every angle, ranging from 250 mm to 700 mm widths.
All profiles were finished in a sleek Steel Grey, a tone chosen to reflect both modernity and institutional authority.
Form Meets Function: Thoughtful Facade Engineering
The new facade wasn’t just about looks—it addressed functional concerns too:
- Integrated Louvres were strategically installed to:
- Hide vertical drainage pipes, keeping the structure visually clean.
- Enhance cross-ventilation, improving internal airflow and student comfort.
