Kashimada Nursery features two interconnected, windmill-like buildings that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, including gardens, pathways, and nursery rooms. Using logs and beams arranged according to traditional Japanese tatami dimensions, the design subtly guides children's movements and defines spaces without rigid walls, enhancing their exploration and interaction. The architecture aims to evolve with its surroundings, honoring the site's context and history.
