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.
