The starting point and source of inspiration for the design of this nursery school with crèche can be found in the broad landscape around Treviso, with its vineyards and wheatfields. Above all, the rough stone walls that dissect the countryside are an important element reflected in the architecture – for example, in the exposed concrete facade with surface chippings on the side facing the town to the west. On the eastern face, in contrast, there are broad areas of glazing, which afford the children a view of and direct access to the garden from all six group rooms. The transitional area between indoors and outdoors is carefully articulated with a projecting roof and with bonded gravel paving.
