Begumpet, Telangana, India

Architect Hafeez Contractor

Founded in 1923, the Hyderabad Public School at Begumpet is known for its grand Indo-Saracenic architecture — arched colonnades, domes and a formal symmetry that carry the school’s colonial-era legacy.

The project expands and renovates the 148-acre campus in line with IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) school standards, aiming at a sustainable, future-ready learning environment. The design merges historical character with contemporary architecture, holding the classical language through scale, material and detailing while introducing modern spatial and environmental strategies.

A prominent addition is the sports complex, anonymously funded by alumni: a multifunctional, climate-responsive facility that honours the school’s legacy while supporting its evolving institutional needs. My role covered conceptual graphics, the site plan in CAD and its graphics, graphical plans, 3D modelling and rendering.
