Text description provided by the architects. This project was planned with the request of a nursery school to be “not a small school, but a big house.”  We were asked to design a space, which can embrace kid’s daily activities, such as eating, sleeping and playing, rather than designing a special space as a nursery school. We decided a building to divide the open space into a courtyard and a small playground rather than having one big playground. This reduced scale allowed kids to feel the building like ‘home’, and it also helped expanding the varieties of kid’s activities in the continuous area of playground, nursery room and courtyard.
