The vast and untamed environment is intertwined with the school’s identity. In close collaboration with the school community, Rosan Bosch Studio has developed a design concept where learning seamlessly happens indoor and outdoor. The learning landscape nurtures innate curiosity and encourages exploration, play, and self-expression.
The students are protagonists in their own education through a custom-designed curriculum built on experimentation and inquiry-based learning. The school’s philosophy considers nature not merely as a supplement to learning, but as a teacher itself.
Designed to support different learning modalities, six learning zones empower the students with meaningful choices that foster autonomy and agency. Guided by educators, the students are encouraged to venture off on their own unique journey of discovery and questioning that goes far beyond traditional school models. The nature-based campus combines differentiated learning spaces, designed to support different learning styles.
Here, “the school is the park, and the park is the school,” and all spaces are integrated with the environment in a constant interplay between inside and outside.
Nature guides the architectural premise and the choice of materials, which are locally sourced, sustainable, and carefully selected to blend with the surroundings. Subtle colors, natural light, and stimulating textures come together in the design concept, promoting the well-being of students and educators and fostering stronger teacher-student relationships.
The landscape design is key in defining areas that generate identity and a sense of belonging among students, as well as in creating spaces for gathering and play. Two brick plazas evoke vernacular Uruguayan architecture, while native vegetation and playful wooden elements enrich the natural setting. These blend harmoniously with the sustainable buildings, which are made entirely of wood and clad using a traditional Japanese charring technique (Shou Sugi Ban), giving them durability, character, and a strong bond with the surrounding landscape.
