Children's Day School

An existing iconic church was converted into a private grade school with a rooftop educational farm and garden.

Since the urban site afforded no axillary land the rooftop was employed as a replacement for an outdoor schoolyard. The school’s rooftop acts as a lunchtime dinning court, an outdoor classroom and an interpretive learning center for nature.

A diverse array of drought-tolerant succulents wraps around 3 sides of the rooftop courtyard.

A farm roof constructed with raised planter boxes allow students to learn about farming through hands-on experience while growing food for the school’s kitchen.
