This project is the renovation of two floors in an industrial building to accommodate the program for a nursery school. The school is arranged on two floors of the building, totaling approximately 12,000 square feet of space. The entry level has administration offices and the large public room of the school. The upper floor contains classrooms for the school, which are designed in conjunction with a constantly changing hall to accommodate the circulation of parents and children and also to provide the teachers with spaces for casual conversations with each other, staff and parents.
