This is located on a sloping site of a suburban residential area of the tsurumi ward in yokohama. the school stands out from its densely populated surroundings with its salmon pink exterior, wooden frame, and curved roof formed by bent beams of laminated wood.
We have built the komaoka nursery school with a multi-level outdoor terrace, sheltered partly by the curved roof, that serves as a playing environment and a substitute for a large garden which could not be secured due to the size and morphology of the site.
