To introduce southern sunlight, we adapted clearstory system to each roof of this kindergarten, so it divided into several masses which look like Tetris block.

By design the colorful glazed windows of translucence, IROJE KHM Architects tried to teach all kids the physical experiences of change of color and mixed color. We expect all the parts of this architecture could be the learning things for all the kids of this kindergarten.
