We were invited to redesign a 15-year-old Montessori kindergarten with modern equipment and stronger links to the outdoors. Our concept was to turn the building inside out - where the interiors could be seen and experienced from the garden. We introduced a ‘second skin’ that acts as a transition between classrooms and open green spaces, allowing children to feel safe while staying connected to nature. The result is a playful, open environment that celebrates learning through space and light.
