SURYA INSPIRASI SCHOOLS,
Indonesia

Surya Inspirasi Schools is planned as a comprehensive educational campus in Kediri, bringing together academic, civic, residential, and community programmes within a clearly structured masterplan. As the city's first international school, the campus integrates global educational standards with local cultural identity through spatial hierarchy and architectural language.

Drawing reference from Kediri's historic royal cities, the masterplan anchors the Main Building as the central focal point—a contemporary interpretation of a palace. From this anchor, a central courtyard spine forms the main axis, connecting surrounding precincts and organising movement across the site. Each building cluster is arranged as its own 'court', supporting clarity and legibility. A unifying identity inspired by chess informs spatial ordering, pattern, and repetition throughout.

Public facilities, including the Raden Wijaya Sports Hall, Airlangga Auditorium, swimming pool, and sports fields, are positioned at the front for accessibility. Beyond this, academic buildings transition into more controlled learning environments supported by landscaped courtyards.

A key spatial strategy employs elevated massing to create an open, continuous ground plane, enabling seamless pedestrian movement and natural ventilation. The roofscape plays a unifying role, from the temple-inspired Main Building, which references Kediri's historic candi to joglo-influenced forms across surrounding structures, creatinges a continuous cultural silhouette.

The repeated Main Batik Garuda Mukha motif, originating from Kediri, is reinterpreted into contemporary diamond-based geometry. Used as a geometric lattice façade, this modular element allows airflow, reduces direct sunlight, and reinforces cultural continuity at campus scale.

Surya Inspirasi Schools presents a contemporary learning environment rooted in local heritage.
