Long, low roofs of glu-lam beams fan from a post and beam screen wall to a stone and stucco wall opposite the
ravine. These roofs extend the form of the ravine into the structure of the building. The idea of the building as a part
of nature is expressed in the twin "tree" columns, which carry the roof over the main playroom. As an entry to the
Birkdale Ravine, the building provides an ideal vantage point for children to explore and learn to appreciate nature.
Bay windows allow toddlers to enjoy views of the park and playground. The exposed wood structure provides a rich
textural backdrop to all the playrooms.

changes in horizontal/vertical
planes.

Spruce Street Nursery School Boston, Massachusetts , United states
A Kindergarten school has been designed with an attempt to form it as an educational tool with emphasis
more on visual education, which keeps them learning by analyzing and observation, a process where they
learn with fun.
The classrooms area not closed rooms but having big windows overlooking the corridor and the exterior
spaces which form a visual link between two spaces where children from different class and parents can have
view of classroom activities, expanding the volume of teaching areas.
