The central glass blocks wall curves gracefully around
the central column which is envisioned as a symbolic tree. Set slightly apart
from the column, the wall creates a playful loop, allowing children to run
around and experience the column from all sides. Along the eastern side, the
columns are designed to appear as though they are emerging from the wall – an
intriguing form that also created a functional niche for storage between the
wall and the column.
The yellow flooring curves
gently from the two main environments into a classroom, creating a seamless
visual transition. Designed to accommodate 8-10 children, this classroom serves
as a third dedicated space for learning. The ceiling features an
organic pattern. A column within the classroom is designed as a circular form
painted in alternating stripes of white and yellow. Bathed in natural light
from full-height windows on the west side, the classroom feels bright, warm and inviting.

A glass block wall of Studio for Little Explorers by Studio Fivefold
The glass block wall was meticulously engineered, with a
concealed framework of rods between each block to ensure stability and a
seamless finish. Select blocks in a vibrant yellow were thoughtfully integrated
into the wall casting a warm golden hue into the classroom. As daylight filters
through, these colored blocks create a dynamic play of light and shadow,
infusing the space with a sense of excitement, warmth and energy – turning the
wall into both a functional partition and an ever-changing visual
experience .
The clients brought in existing furniture and storage
units salvaged from a previous site, which were thoughtfully adapted to suit
the new environment. Redesigning these pieces to be child friendly-both in
terms of accessibility and ease of use – required multiple mock-ups and on-site
tests to refine proportions, heights, and finishes. The process balanced
functional needs with the project’s aesthetic vision. All while ensuring the
design remained within budget.

The design language draws inspiration from Scandinavian
day care principles, where safety, abundant natural light, and warm, cheerful
colors are thoughtfully combined to create spaces that feel both calm and
stimulating. Bold, sweeping curves and generous round edges go beyond their
functional role of ensuring safety to establish a strong visual identity. These
sculptural forms bring fluidity, movement and a sense of play, making the
interiors both child-friendly and architecturally distinctive.
