A proper education, doubled by environmental awareness, has to start at an early age to provide good results in time.

Perhaps this fact was a source of inspiration for Tezuka Architects, developing and implementing one of the most spectacular, eco-friendly kindergartens ever built worldwide.

Its minimalist design and unconventional shapes will manage to make people raise an eyebrow, but the small nature-based structure, located in Tokyo could definitely teach the kids a few things about the importance of a close connection with the environment.

Best part is that it lacks furniture and expensive, colorful decorations, helping even the youngest understand that sometimes less is more. It was constructed using sustainable materials, for a minimal impact on the environment.

In fact, the wood and glass-based labyrinth is the perfect place to play hide and seek, spend a wonderful day and learn new things at the same time.
