OGN part 2; Child-friendly design = creating a safe and conducive environment.
Orchid Garden Nepal school has grown over the years. They naturally needed more thoughtful and functional spaces, enough for the children to thrive.
Our design strategy:
On the newly introduced Upper Floor level we placed 3 functions: 1/ administration, 2/ volunteer rooms and 3/ classrooms for older students for whom climbing up the stairs wouldn't be hazardous. The ‘welcome area’ doubles up as a waiting space with display walls for art work/writings by the children, which the parents can enjoy while dropping off/picking up their kids.
We created two interconnecting courtyards; a small one adjacent to the Kindergarten, the large one for the bigger kids, who can have a blast at The Roll. With the central canteen, both courtyards are visually connected. Play, Eat and Repeat. As a break from the stereotypical learning, ‘Farm’ and ‘Jungle’ allow for outdoor learning and natural adventures in an urban context. The big question is what OGN will be able to do with this Architecture for All work!
