"When we were asked to modernize the schoolhouse, a beloved bungalow originally built in the 1920s, we felt it was essential to honor that legacy."
"The new scheme reinforces the relationship between each child and the environment, letting the outside in."
"Classrooms now have expansive views that provide an immersive experience for the students as they witness the change of seasons."
"All-natural non-toxic elements were selected with health and sustainability in mind."
An educational facility in Takoma Park, Maryland, has been a community fixture for over 80 years. The renovation aimed to preserve its residential charm while modernizing the space. The design emphasizes outdoor learning, with a sun-filled room created from a basement and a mudroom that connects indoor and outdoor exploration. Classrooms feature expansive views to enhance student engagement with nature. Sustainable materials were chosen for health and durability, ensuring the space is functional for children’s activities while maintaining an organic aesthetic throughout.
