About Wandering in the Woods Design intérieur d'une école maternelle
« Wandering in the Woods » est un aménagement intérieur de maternelle conçu pour des enfants de deux à six ans. Le bâtiment d'origine offrait un espace restreint et dépendait largement de la lumière artificielle. Pour des raisons de stabilité structurelle et de coût, le projet conserve l'intégralité de la structure et y insère un atrium qui traverse verticalement les trois étages, de sorte que toutes les salles de classe reçoivent la lumière naturelle des deux côtés. Les poteaux deviennent des arbres et les poutres des ponts. Des escaliers et des toboggans continus s'enroulent en spirale autour des poteaux et relient les espaces entre eux. Des cabanes perchées offrent des lieux calmes dédiés à la lecture et aux travaux manuels.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The design creates an atrium based on original structure and bring an experience of wandering in the woods. Columns and beams immediately become trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 50000 mm x Depth 24000 mm x Height 15000 mm
- Tags
- kindergarten, atrium, woodland, columns and beams, tree house
- Production Technology
- A series of structure studies optimized the construction logic of the atrium. Columns and beams are transformed into trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Design Challenge
- It is extremely difficult for individuals or institutions to launch a kindergarten in China since the land policy. The owner and his wife are outstanding preschool educators. They hope to establish a real world-leading kindergarten in China. However, this building with poor sunlight is the only possible site for them. It had limited space and heavily relied on artificial lights, which was against the common expectations of kindergartens.
- Research
- Sunlight, soil and grass are all essential spatial elements to children's growth. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design has kept the entire structure and created an atrium running vertically through three stories. Such design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Through design, a poor building has become a lively kindergarten. It's exciting that this kindergarten is now the best one in south China.
- Inspiration
- The original structure resembled a liner with limited space and poor sunlight. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design keeps the entire structure and create an atrium running vertically through three stories. The design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Columns become trees and beams become bridges to form abundant spatial effects. Taking advantage of the original structure, the atrium transforms the "liner" into a "woodland."
- Project Duration
- Design: 2018.12 Construction: 2019.01-2019.07
- Operation Flow
- The kindergarten thoughtfully considers the needs of children at 2-6. The facilities are benchmarked against the needs of children at 2-6, and distinguish between those for children at 1.5-3 and those for children at 3-6. Classrooms adopt soft colors and materials, creating a home-like space where child can fully express their potentiality.
