Bringing Nature Indoors

The play area was envisioned as the central design feature of the space.

Existing structural columns were creatively transformed into abstract “trees,” establishing a playful, nature-inspired environment. A raised platform was integrated into the layout, featuring a sunken conversation pit designed to encourage group learning, interaction, and communication among children.
