Class 1

In Class 1 the teacher stands before the children like the shepherd gathering his little flock. The floor plan encourages this relationship between teacher and class: the walls create a near circle to gather the children around the teacher. The ceiling is slightly higher than that of Class 2 and has a steeper curve. There is more headroom and a little more space to dream. The roof curves over the space with a nurturing and protective gesture and lifts up just a little over the windows to let in the light.
