There are different zones that offer different architectural terrain and structures which can accommodate various modes of activities, in the manner of both dynamic and quiet. The large open, bright and pleasant area is where the children can run freely around the columns, and play hide-and-seek. Meanwhile, the small huts that are incorporated in the large space allow children to enjoy personal and quite ambiance.

Dimensions & Packaging

Designer also takes children's perception and feeling into consideration while dealing with design details and concept for the kindergarten. As the slanted window structure being part and parcel of the building, the interior is highly geometrical which challenges the children's visual experience, while the rooms are arranged with a narrative-inspired twist. We also utilize the building natural phenomenon of sunlight into the interior space to create a sense of peacefulness and coziness.
