The clients acquired a nursery school and needed to totally refurbish it in order to comply with local regulations and also to give the school a fresh new look. A star-shaped corridor connects the different rooms. All internal walls have smooth curved corners, making the school a safe place for children. The playrooms’ walls are made of white lacquered panels with glass inserts. The resulting effect is of trees in a forest where parents can happily play hide and seek with their children or even observe their own child unnoticed.
