a vibrant kindergarten {colourful places & spaces}

My second guest post on yellowtrace focuses on the most beautiful kindergarten I’ve ever seen – the Educational Centre En El Chaparral in Granada, Spain designed by Alejandro Muñoz Miranda. Colour windows were added to communal spaces like doorways (leaving classrooms with clear glass) so changing weather and seasons could inject the white space with gorgeous coloured light. Can you imagine going to kindergarden somewhere so magical? Check out my whole post and more images on yellowtrace.

Wow! The concept is so thoughtful and the result is so beautiful. Are there any photos of the classrooms available?
The teacher+design amateur in me is super curious.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Stacy
