This is an interior design project for a nursery school with a capacity of about 100 children, to be occupied as a tenant in a newly built frame by a house builder.

　Since the frame was a product of the house builder, there were restrictions on the height of the floors and ceilings. In order to accommodate equipment in the ceiling, it was necessary to lower part of the ceiling.

　Taking a positive view of this requirement, we thought that the lowered ceiling would allow the large one-room nursery to be loosely divided, bringing it closer to a place for the children.

The drop ceiling is outlined with soft curves and finished with green cloth. The soft curves were also used for the small edges of the walls and the laminated wood for the door frames, creating a soft and relaxing nursery environment that resembles a tree with branches reaching upward to create shade. In an environment where there is little nature around, we hope that the children can experience a little bit of greenery.

　By matching the placement and height of the furniture and built-ins to the shape of the lowered ceiling, we created a clean impression throughout the room.
