CHILDREN'S OASIS

Inspired by plot placement, our Mojave Desert daycare maximizes efficiency with five interconnected buildings forming a Children's Oasis. The circular design, opening into courtyards, features a double-layered roof for passive cooling and sustainability. Prioritizing shade and ventilation, this innovative project creates a safe, cool haven for children.
