Article source: Fujimori Architect Office The site is located in the central area of Sendai city, an area influenced by recent land readjustment projects. It is expected that this area will continue to develop and increase in residential population. With these circumstances in view, we designed an “urban-style” nursery school building that can efficiently accommodate increased numbers of children, while also encouraging their curiosity, creativity, and connection with the local community.

On the street-facing wall are a number of bay windows in color frames shaped like the block houses that children often draw. This unique visual presentation inspires curiosity, while the bay windows provide extra interior spaces for children to play and expand their creativity.

Meanwhile, the box frame type reinforced concrete construction provide strength, safety and durability. The colorful bay windows present the energy and activity inside the building to the surrounding neighborhood, offering the site as a positive symbol for the town and a bond between the children and their local community.
