About YN International School Educational Facility

Planned international school campus in Yokohama, Japan. The design interprets Japanese rice terraces as a spatial system for learning. A stepped mass rises from north to south to satisfy strict shadow regulations while stacking planted roof terraces as daily learning landscapes. A central skylight and atrium bring daylight deep into the plan and organize circulation as a shared spine for encounters. Wood louvers filter light and views, giving the architecture a quiet Japanese character. Transparent classroom fronts and terraces support outdoor learning, retreat, curiosity, and exchange.
