一个具有多种功能的空间领域允许儿童一整天自由活动，并从周围的环境中学习和相互学习。学习环境鼓励合作，强调透明和公共空间，这些空间占学校的一半以上：四间教室、灵活的工作坊、社区空间、多功能工作室、艺术工作室、音乐室和其他剧本支持创作和团结的活力。

A field of spaces with a variety of functions allow children to move freely throughout the day and to learn from the environment around them and each other. The learning landscape encourages collaboration by emphasizing transparent and communal spaces, which comprise more than half of the school: four classrooms, flexible workshops, community space, multi-purpose studio, art studio, music room and other playscapes support the energy of creation and togetherness.

学校里的大部分隔板都是高到孩子的水平的架子，这样自然光线就可以到达建筑物的深处。三种不同的搁置水平对每个年龄组偶尔曲线，以创造不同的活动口袋，给人一种舒适，安全和社区的感觉，同时让教师在任何时候都有充分的空间透视。上面，由毛毡制成的声学云反映了自然界的不同模式-指纹、珊瑚、景观和月亮-并根据一天中的时间变化了颜色和强度的Ketra灯泡。

Most of the partitions inside the school are shelves raised to the level of the child, allowing natural light to reach deep inside the building. Three different shelving levels for each age group curve occasionally to create various activity pockets and give a feeling of comfort, safety and community, while allowing teachers to have full perspective of the space at all times. Above, acoustic clouds made of felt reflect the different patterns in nature – fingerprint, coral, landscape and moon – and illuminate with Ketra bulbs that shift in color and intensity based on the time of day.

WeGrow内的每个学习站都包括由GIG精心设计的家具和材料，以优化教育环境：模块化教室促进移动和协作，本达克工作室生产的拼图桌椅提供同等的视角，以及劳芬在瑞士制造的垂直花园，根据遮荫程度，种植不同的植物。蘑菇架和神奇的草地为更专注的研究创造了一个平静的环境，而阅读蜂箱则形成了一个有机学习环境的沉浸式图书馆。

Each learning station within WeGrow includes furniture with details and materials carefully designed by BIG to optimize the educational environment: modular classrooms promote movement and collaboration, puzzle tables and chairs manufactured by Bendark Studios come in kid and parent sizes to offer equal perspectives, and the vertical garden with tiles made in Switzerland by Laufen house different plants depending on shade exposure. The mushroom shelves and magic meadow create a calm setting for a more focused study while reading hives form an immersive library for an organic learning environment.

老师和家长和孩子们共用大厅，从墙上光滑的剪裁中形成一个好玩的角落，作为一个灵活的工作、见面和等候的地方。孩子们可以参加“大脑之谜”，这是一个可以用来玩和学习的无所不能的休息室。从大厅到教室，WeGrow由gople灯和Alphabet of light点亮-灵活的照明系统由大创意设计，由Artemide制造，以创造出舒适自然的氛围效果，在整个学校的一天里形成舒适、自然的照明。WeGrow通过反思、探索和发现来培养孩子的教育，既好玩又透明，但又像家一样。

Teachers and parents share the lobby with the children, where a playful felt nook forms from the smooth cut out in the walls to serve as a flexible work, meet and waiting area. Children can join in the brain puzzle, an all-felt lounge that can be taken apart for playing and learning. From the lobby to the classrooms, WeGrow is lit by Gople Lamp and Alphabet of Light – flexible lighting systems designed by BIG Ideas and manufactured by Artemide to create ambience effects that form comfortable, natural lighting throughout the school day. Playful and transparent, yet homelike and structured, WeGrow nurtures the child’s education through introspection, exploration and discovery.
