The Kusi Kawsay school

is situated in a fabulous setting right below the ancient Inca ruins of Pisac with a view of several sacred mountains including Apu Linli and Apu Pachatusun.  Just attending the school guarantees a built-in exercise program as students and staff have to climb a steep hill every morning before classes.  There is no car access just a footpath which is quite a challenge getting building materials and tools up to the site.
The school is less than one year old and construction is still ongoing.  I just completed the fabrication and hanging of four classroom doors which will eventually have glass installed.  Note the traditional Inca trapezoidal design of the doors and windows of the classrooms.
Two of the classrooms were built as one long space so they can double as a small auditorium when we hold plays and presentations.  I also built and installed two big soundproof divider doors which will normally be in the closed position making a wall between the two classrooms but can be opened up when the need arises.
