​The preschool is organized in three parts relating to natural light and movement. The ‘Garden’ - comprising reception, circulation and gathering areas - forms a continuous, curving space framed by a painted landscape mural, connecting the front entrance to the back exit where the children depart for daily excursions to Fort Greene Park.  The ‘River’- spaces relating to water - runs along the back of the space, strategically positioning the Children's Restroom as a pivotal space in a child’s development.  The four classrooms are conceived as ‘Vessels of Light’ defined by translucent, colorful, curved screens animated by the storefront’s abundant sunlight. The classrooms are finished in natural and recycled materials, including cork floors and soft, sky blue acoustic ceilings. The concrete structure and all services are exposed to maximize ceiling height and give a didactic presence to the gravity and service elements of the architecture.
