WeGrow’s facilitates a transformative and holistic approach to learning that’s less prescriptive and more intuitive. A field of super-elliptic objects forms a 10,000 sq ft learning landscape that’s dense and rational yet free and fluid. A field of spaces with a variety of functions allow children to move freely throughout the day and to learn from the environment around them and each other.

The school encourages collaboration by emphasizing transparent and communal spaces, which comprise more than half of the school: four classrooms, flexible workshops, community space, multi-purpose studio, art studio, music room and other playscapes that  support the energy of creation and togetherness. 

Most of the partitions inside the school are shelves raised to the level of the child, allowing natural light to reach deep inside the building. Three different shelving levels for each age group curve occasionally to create various activity pockets and give a feeling of comfort, safety and community, while allowing teachers to have full perspective of the space at all times. Above, acoustic clouds made of felt reflect the different patterns in nature – fingerprint, coral, landscape and moon.

The vertical garden with tiles made in Switzerland by Laufen house different plants depending on shade exposure. 

Each learning station within WeGrow includes furniture with details and materials carefully designed by BIG to optimize the educational environment: modular classrooms promote movement and collaboration, puzzle tables and chairs manufactured by Bendark Studios come in kid and parent sizes to offer equal perspectives.

Flexible lighting systems designed by BIG and manufactured by Italian Artemide create ambience effects that form comfortable, natural lighting throughout the school day.  

Nature’s qualities are often borrowed throughout WeGrow to create a calm setting for a more focused study: the mushroom shelves, magic meadow with soft pebbles and reading hives that form an immersive library.
