ORTO Nursery

Workshop facilitation, product planning and development | Tokyo, Japan

The environment was developed through dialogues with the nursery staff and children through a series of workshops over a year. The spaces were carefully created with a deep understanding of the purpose and activities of each place, including Piazza to encourage social interaction, Atelier to support creative activities, Childcare area for various activities for different age groups, Lunch room to deepen relationships between children and adults, and Documentation room to share activities at the nursery.
