Nestled amidst the high-rise buildings of bustling Shenzhen, a newly designed kindergarten stands out as a beacon of innovative and child-friendly architecture. The Gemdale Great City Bay Kindergarten emphasizes the harmonious blend to ecology and public space, offering a welcoming and nurturing environment for children.
Designed to be a ‘cave’ to explore, the kindergarten is envisioned to be a magical place for children. It is a unique, secretive space to foster creativity and a sense of adventure. The 3-storey kindergarten consists of classrooms, multi-function rooms, administrative amenities and outdoor activity area. The humane design ensures ample natural light and effective ventilation through full-height glass walls and semi-open layout, maintaining a bright and healthy environment, as well as a positive learning atmosphere.
