ecole maternelle pajol {colourful places & spaces}

Ecole Maternelle Pajol is a four-classroom kindergarten in Paris’s 18th arrondissement that joyfully showcases how colour and education are a true dream team. I love how Parisian architects Palatre & Leclère restored the 1940′s building. The front retains its vintage brick beauty while the back explodes with vibrant patterns and colourful activities. The interiors are equally joyful with bold hallways, bright furniture/building materials and a dotted ceiling I just love. Even the washroom features fabulous streamlined colour and animal details (love those dividers!) This kindergarten must be one magical place to learn and play…

Using many colors together doesn´t mean you have to scream. It can be made in many ways, even calmer ones. Very often people think children can only see bright colors, which is not true. Children are also subtle human beings. Playful can be dealed in the most variable and fun ways.
