Hide and Seek: An Architecture of Layers

This project is an elementary school located in a suburban area outside of Williamsburg, Virginia. The building is sited on an eight acre plot of wooded land and is designed for 100 students. A playground is designed as a counterpart to the school. A design approach which resembles the layering of space is developed through the drawings. The experience of these spaces establishes a dialogue between building and student likened to a game of hide and seek.
