An Urban Children's Sanctuary

Located right in the heart of Singapore's Arts and Heritage district, NAFA Arts Preschool is inspired to be a Children's Sanctuary which is conceived as a cottage in the urban setting. The built environment is designed to invoke the sense of inquisitiveness by dissolving the typical classroom walls into porous boundaries, therefore it naturally creates opportunities of interplay and interactions amongst preschoolers. The dining space is featured as a gathering point of the Sanctuary, hence enlivening the spirit of togetherness during meal times. Other featured spaces includes an atelier space for Arts, dance studio, music studio and a rock climbing wall. All of which are unveiled to allow seamless visual connections throughout the spatial arrangement.

儿童的城市避风港

新加坡南洋艺术学前教育学院（NAFA Arts Preschool )位于新加坡的市中心地带，创作灵感来源于幼儿空间的新定义，即城市环境中的小屋：儿童的避风港。以儿童的成长规律为出发点，将其室内环境由新型的多孔墙来代替传统的教室，配合由几何图案组成的带有凹凸感的墙面，来唤起儿童的好奇心与求知欲。它自然地创造了学龄前儿童之间互动的机会。在基于学院院长以及老师多年的教学理念下，将用餐空间则设计为一个活跃团结精神的聚会点。室内使用了大量色彩柔和的木质材料，来传达绿色自然，保护生态的理念。其他空间包括艺术空间，舞蹈室，音乐室，都以开放模式设计，以便在整个空间布局中实现无缝的视觉连接。
