It is a courtyard-shaped plan.This form can get lighting effectively from the outside space of the building’s center. And it was effective for the ventilation.The road side considers the scale feeling of the one-storied house. The sense of oppression to those who pass in the building has been softened by continuing wood wall of red Cedar along the road.

The best learning environment for children this age is nature, that why the building layout has been carefully planned to support children’s self-learning and integrated both indoors and outdoors spaces, architecture and landscape to provide different learning activities.
