Description
  • The schoolyard which was formerly two separate courtyards has been combined to provide a large space for the students.
  • The major transformation of the courtyard involved removing a portion of the existing waterproofed asphalt areas especially near the trees , to improve permeability.
  • Introduction of planters with aromatic plants and vegetables has created a productive landscape. This provides learning opportunities and a sensory experience for the students.
  • The different types of play equipment within the large courtyard provides enrichment to the various age groups in the school (elementary and nursery).
  • The play elements have been created from naturally occurring elements such as wooden logs and wicker.
  • The upper portion of the courtyard is centered around a tree which has a climbing platform. Other play elements include balance courses made of vertical logs, wicker play-huts, outdoor chalkboards and two amphitheaters.
  • The lower courtyard is more compact and has a large sandbox and a log amphitheater.
  • The water flow is directed towards permeable vegetation areas in the courtyard. The rainwater pipe from the roof is directed to a water channel amongst planters.
  • The pergola and walls of the courtyard have been planted with creepers and vines.
