They especially praised the inviting and playful composition of the children’s spaces. The concept is simple yet fresh: traditional gabled building wings meet and form a surprising composition at the heart of the building.

In the wings, each children group has their own home entrance, group work lobby, and flexible classrooms or playrooms around it. Every wing opens up towards a green courtyard. Art and self-motivated learning are present both in the school’s curriculum and the architecture.

It is designed to be inexpensive to build, yet highly inspiring. It is a very realizable solution, which we always aim at. Our goal is to provide inspiring spaces that are easy to build, easy to understand and fun to dwell in.
