Description
The kindergardn is located in a promontory with two different and interesting views, one towards the sea and the other facing Sintra's mountains/hills. The idea was not only to use but to incorporate important references from the children's imaginary world. Taking this into account, the present school was designed using pure, simple and regular volumes and shapes, either opaque or transparent, with some cylindrical skylights cutting the ceiling allowing the entrance of natural light.
