Nursery

Less about form than organising programme and movement: descending frames and a courtyard with an opening roof.
Rather than a form-driven approach, the design is a direct organisation of programme, circulation and spatial events. A sequence of structural frames that wraps the building and steps down in height physically defines what happens inside and sets the hierarchy between still spaces and moving axes.
At its heart, a courtyard corridor carries all circulation without interruption; an opening roof makes it usable in summer and winter. Classrooms grouped by age, an auditorium, workshops and outdoor play areas form a sheltered learning ecosystem.
