Unique Properties: 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.

Production Technology: Designer adopts wood and pale colors scheme in the space. This light combination scheme demonstrates and conveys a message of sustainability and environment-friendly concept and at the same time gives a sense of homely warm feeling.

With this structure, it promotes children's curiosity and unearths their unlimited and self initiated exploration mode.
Design Challenge: Designer specially created a cool mezzanine level for an interlocking space and circulation, with the intention to turn the building space into a huge spatial toy for children to play in. We bring in the climbing net to the mezzanine area to allow children to climb high and look down from above. It creates fun for exercise and also varied contact spaces for children to move around for exploration.
Research: Each element in the space was designed to carry emotional value, providing kids with a different perception of the original "house" concept. We hope to provide a fantastic learning experience that is immersed in our interior architecture, and at the same time to give the children sense of ownership and safety. Kindergarten is always the second home. In this beautiful second home, let the children to chase around and feel the warmth while growing up happily.
Inspiration: Designer responds to local conditions, envisioning how children and teachers will be using the space. When reach out to the community, we explore on daily interactions between children, teachers as well as parents.
