Akaike Tohyama Architects‘ Himawari Nursery School in Tokyo, Japan, is a captivating new addition to the city’s architectural landscape. Designed in 2022, this one-story wooden structure was created to foster interaction and experiences among children of different ages. By strategically zoning the nursery rooms, hall, and staff areas, the design promotes a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, transforming the entire site into a vibrant “playground” for the young students.
