The design philosophy behind the Waldorf school aimed to harmoniously integrate unconventional classrooms into a forested environment, promoting an immersive learning experience connected to nature.
Living walls filled with excavated soil and forest debris transformed classrooms into interactive ecosystems, allowing students to experience biodiversity firsthand while also being cost-effective and visually appealing.
Emphasizing communal involvement, the project's construction system enabled children, parents, and teachers to participate actively, ensuring sustainable practices and a sense of ownership in the school’s development.
Inspired by maasai manyatas and Kenyan vernacular designs, classrooms are arranged in a spiral, fostering social interaction while amid the vibrant natural setting of the woods.
