rastvorgroup has envisioned ‘kindergarten hill’, as a sloping structure that mimics the form of a mountain. swooping up from the ground in one fluid motion, the roof is punctured with window cut-outs to eventually form an arched peak that faces the street level. the concept merges the building with its groundscape, becoming a continuous and habitable place for children to play. a green roof further enhances the blurring of these two elements, while the balconies enable sunlight to filter through to the interior classrooms.
