Waldorf School

Goal
To design a school that nourishes a child's experience of Waldorf education from kindergarten through 12th grade, focused on grounding the child in an environment that extends the inside learning activities to the exterior site, and cosmos. 

Challenge
A Waldorf school requires design leadership in developing a comprehensive plan that stimulates an academic experience including: dance, gardening, music, arts, physical activities, along with classroom spaces that inspire those experiences.  

Solution
A design creating a learning environment developed around interior and exterior gardens. Gardens for plants & nature, rain & water, light & air, color & sound. These gardens form an exterior courtyard the classrooms open onto, and extend inside into unique spaces the children are nourished in when not outside.
