La Fontaine Kindergarden / ALTA
Briefly

The project not only enhances the school but celebrates the Loire's architectural and natural heritage, creating a harmonious space within the diverse urban context of Tours.
ALTA's design reflects local building traditions and the natural environment, incorporating a cabin-like imagery that establishes a connection to the surrounding landscape.
To foster an ecological ethos, new outdoor spaces were developed in collaboration with landscape architects, prioritizing biodiversity and ecological management for the school’s outdoor environments.
The renovation of the Jean de la Fontaine school was completed in April 2024, emphasizing a sensitive approach to both architecture and landscape that caters to community needs.
