concept
Children who have entered will spend most of their daily lives at nursery school. Nursery school which children spend for a long time is not an unusual space but a space of everyday living. For that reason, I considered the nursery school as a "house like" architecture and designed it.
We divide the building volume into six so that children can feel familiar. The entrance building seen from the approach is in the form of a "house" in a flat shop. Beyond that you can see several "roof" houses.
In the center of the building there is a courtyard which is completed surrounded by house type building and brings brightness to each room through the courtyard.
