SURYA INSPIRASI SCHOOLS - EARLY YEARS,
Indonesia

The Early Years building forms a key component within the Surya Inspirasi Schools campus, positioned in a more private and protected zone. This placement establishes a safe and nurturing environment for young children, supported by a dedicated drop-off, generous green areas, and outdoor learning gardens, while remaining connected to the wider campus framework.

Architecturally, the building is defined by a playful façade composed of vibrant vertical colours. This rhythmic use of colour gives the building a lively and welcoming identity, clearly signalling its role as a space designed specifically for young learners.

The Early Years environment is organised around the overarching KID in Garden concept, which frames the preschool as an immersive landscape for learning through play and interaction. Classrooms, circulation areas, and shared spaces are designed as interconnected environments enriched by nature-inspired forms, textures, and colours, allowing movement through the building to become part of the learning experience.

The classrooms adopt the Backyard Classroom idea, incorporating house-like forms and tree elements to create warm and imaginative learning spaces with proportions appropriate to early childhood.

The library is organised around the Tree of Knowledge concept, where sculptural tree forms establish a calm, nature-inspired environment encouraging curiosity and quiet discovery. Performance and assembly spaces adopt garden-inspired interiors with soft contours and natural tones.

The playground follows the Olympiad theme, introducing active play within a vibrant outdoor space, complemented by a central courtyard with a cheerful, beach-inspired character. The art studio provides a bright environment with soft colours and child-friendly furniture to encourage imagination and self-expression.
