"The Early Childhood Education at Santa Maria School operates in buildings constructed at the end of the 1960s, which were expanded and renovated in the 2000s. The proposal was to develop a retrofit project to modernize and update the spaces in order to meet new technological demands, uses, and pedagogical practices, while ensuring the preservation of the architectural features that are part of the school's identity."

The Early Childhood Education program at Santa Maria School occupies buildings constructed at the end of the 1960s and later expanded and renovated in the 2000s. The project proposes a retrofit to modernize and update those spaces to respond to new technological demands, evolving uses, and contemporary pedagogical practices. The retrofit approach prioritizes upgrading infrastructure and spatial organization while safeguarding the architectural features that contribute to the school's identity. The work aims to reconcile functional modernization with conservation of character, adapting existing structures rather than replacing them. Carvalho Terra Arquitetos leads the proposal for these targeted interventions.
