The simplicity of moving in space without complex corridors and unusable corners led us to a solution where we organically develop a strictly orthogonal floor plan. We create a compact inner world through a simple, central converging space. Each space in the house has its own quality and generosity. The ability to connect these individual spaces by opening up the door and sliding panels between them then gives the nursery a unique opportunity to create a truly connected community of children sharing a common space. At the same time, this concept does not disrupt the traditional perception of the classroom as a separate entity - each classroom can be separated at any time by closing the openings. In this way, we fully appreciate the potential of a space under one roof that can function in many different configurations based on current needs.
