Description

BaanPloyPoom School is designed to focus on a “learning environment” where learning does not occur solely within the classroom but learning from the surrounding. Most of the designed space is semi-outdoor, allowing children to pay attention to nature and be aware of their surroundings, perceive the penetration of natural light, the rain falling into the designed pond, and the wind across the space.Curved elements help compliment and bring harmony to the space, giving sense of limitlessness.
