Tomonoki-Himawari Kindergarten / MAMM DESIGN

Tomonoki-Himawari Kindergarten, located in Tokyo’s Arakawa Ward, is a newly established private kindergarten with a capacity of 175 people. Seeing that the surrounding environment was densely populated by houses and factories, we aspired to create a space that would contribute to the growth of the children’s minds and bodies, and where the teachers and children could feel surrounded by nature. To achieve this, we arranged the classrooms and playroom to encircle the lush, green, light-filled garden to create a courtyard that brings the outside in.

The site is located between reinforced concrete mid-to-high-rise apartments and an old wooden housing area, where it almost feels like you are left out in an island. It is a dwelling for a couple with music studio, in such a complex Tokyo-like environment.
