Explore a Whimsical Kindergarten in Xiamen, China<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2023 Best of Year Winner for Kids’ Zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning feels like an adventure at this indoor-outdoor kindergarten in Xiamen, China. With porthole windows, igloolike nooks, and mini balconies, the mod, nearly 200,000-square-foot ECNU Xiping Bilingual School Kindergarten invites exploration from its pint-size attendees. There\u2019s hardly a right angle in sight: Curving walls and arched entrances create a natural flow between rooms, and sunny halls circle a central courtyard. The PAL Design Group<\/a> team considered the wide-eyed perspective of the end user, conceiving spaces that would have excited the designers as children, like an art studio that resembles an illuminated cave. A palette of whites and greens, both man\u00admade and natural, keeps the mood fresh: Lush vegetation frames the entrance and plants hang from overhead fixtures. They\u2019re reminders of growth in nature\u2014and the budding students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
