architectural form is divided into two parts, and enclosed in a single rectangular frame. it is cantilevered for 12 meters in the front and envelopes the dynamic self-standing composition,
including the spiral ramp welding with an cylindrical volume of the cafeteria. the form of the ramp is derived from children’s slide and serves as a welcoming gesture for the kids.
SURROUNDED BY FRAMELESS GLASS, THE INTERIOR IS ARRANGED BY THE FUNCTIONAL OVAL ROOMS, WHICH ALSO HOLD THE STRUCTURAL LOAD OF THE SECOND FLOOR. additionally, the blue round courtyard on the
upper floor serves as source of sunlight and is the ideal place for events or simply reading under the sunlight.
