We made a proposal for a new kindergarten for the new city of Molewa near Ruichang, China. The 4,800-m2 complex was part of a Master Plan consisting of 17 other plots to create a new sustainable city of Molewa, which also houses the world’s largest flower park.

The kindergarten project includes a large elevated landscape and integrated learning facilities covering a total of 4,000 m2, to serve 400 kids and staff members. The idea is to break down the huge scale into “3 learning villages” that are self-sufficient, connected by a lowered playing area.

Inspired by H.C. Andersen’s adventurous story of Thumbelina living under the mushrooms, dancing from petal to petal; the kindergarten seeks to express itself cozy and small in scale, allowing the children to feel safe and adventurous in an environment exploring the space; creating an exciting place to learn and play.
