A Sea of Play And Learn

Born in the heart of Nordnes, Bergen, this project reimagines children’s relationship with nature in an educational setting. Inspired by Bergen’s nature and climate—particularly the rain—it proposes a kindergarten design where nature, sea, and rain (water) are central, blending indoor and outdoor spaces for playful interactions. It’s an educational place for children to learn and play while building a lifelong bond with nature, shaped by pedagogical theories, sensory experiences, biophilia, and the power of play. By immersing children in a nature-appreciating environment, it aims to bridge education and nature, to raise healthier, sustainable, and environmentally conscious future generations.
