Drive circular and local production

TOV Primary School in Waddinxveen asked us to design a space that supports their innovative Learning Landscape approach to personalised education.

Working with our in-house circular partner, Furnify, and Human Office, we created an open, transparent environment that fosters play, learning, and exploration. The design focuses on a people-centric approach, developing the school from the inside out and enhancing its connection to the surrounding area. The flexible spaces are designed to maximise natural daylight.

Rather than traditional classrooms or a central square, our design incorporates numerous smaller gathering spaces for different activities. This layout supports the students’ preference for working in reduced groups with individual teacher guidance and ensures the school’s efficient use throughout the day.
