HUT AND FIELDS
The nursery design is to create a multifaceted arena for the little ones where interesting stories could happen. Given a 18m by 30m footprint sitting in a unique urban lot with 4 candlenut trees, a 7-storey stacking of many otherly worlds slowly emerges. Children shall walk through a vast vertical landscape with small huts where they shall find each hut is a little different from each other.
The design intends to break away from typical plan with repeated layout to create a diversity of space.
The “fields” are activity rooms where large windows open up the space flooded in natural light.
The “hut” are the refined calm classrooms, where small windows frame views of the immediate context.
