Location: Chengdu, China.

Architect: Challenge Design.

The project is located in Chengdu’s Tianfu New Area, which features a sound ecosystem and is close to Luxelakes Eco-City, Xinglong Lake and Tianfu Central Park. The layout of the buildings fits well with the unregular site, creating a harmonious blend of nature and modernity. The designers have divided the indoor spaces and placed several entrances to ensure that children and teachers from different rooms can enter or leave the buildings without forming jams. The shape of the buildings mimics the profiles of mountains, and the high set entrance makes the whole building more prominent. The circular place aims to create a place in which children can play with their peers, learn from their teachers and stay comfortable.

Corridors are able to form transitions and boundaries, so a circular corridor was built to link and divide indoor and outdoor spaces while satisfying children’s psychological needs. White reflects all light, giving prominence to the buildings and creating a piece of canvas for nature. Wooden furniture is used to create a simple, comfortable and kid-friendly interior design. Geometrical spots on the surface are scattered like an abstract waterfall, making the garden look more energetic, graceful and delightful. The complex natural elements act as barriers, creating a peaceful atmosphere while blending harmoniously with the surrounding buildings.
