Discover the Innovative Kindergarten Design in the Heart of Hong Kong
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
cocoon architecture ltd. proudly presents the groundbreaking design of Kendall International, a preschool located in the podium of a typical tower building in Hong Kong. Completed in February 2018, this innovative project challenges the conventional approach to kindergarten design, offering a unique and stimulating environment for children.
The design is inspired by the vertical nature of Hong Kong, with a focus on creating a village-like atmosphere within the bustling city. The classrooms are shaped as village houses, surrounding a central plaza where children can play, run, and engage in various activities. The high headroom of the space allows for the creation of outdoor-like environments, including tree houses, climbing walls, and interconnected levels for exploration.
Embracing the Reggio teaching philosophy, the design encourages children to be active constructors of knowledge and fosters a sense of community. The use of simple and natural materials, predominantly in white and wooden colors, provides a backdrop for the vibrant energy of the children, prioritizing their experience above all else.
cocoon architecture ltd. has successfully transformed the traditional concept of a podium kindergarten, creating a dynamic and engaging space that reflects the distinctive Asian characters of the local district. By reimagining the typical classroom layout and incorporating transparent glass partitions, Kendall International becomes a village within the city, offering a truly unique educational environment.
