Botanical Garden school interiors
The concept of the interiors of this school is based on an analysis of the existing architectural design: the building is a rectangular, three-storey volume stretching along the parkland of the Yauza River valley. Functionally, the volume is divided into three blocks: a pre-school, a primary school and a primary school.

The compositional centre of each block is the courtyard. As a result, in each block there are dominating multilight volumes adjacent to the courtyards: in the first block there is a swimming pool for toddlers and a school swimming pool, in the second block an assembly hall, and in the third block a gymnasium. These volumes are compositional centres, each one has its own colour as a reference point: the pool is conditionally turquoise, the assembly hall is conditionally red, the sports hall is conditionally blue. This is how the functional units in the building are navigated. Floors navigation in the school has been resolved by applying colour to the portals of the doors to the classrooms: grey on the ground floor, blue on the first floor and red on the third (these are the brand colours of the school operator). The use of neutral light grey and white tones in the decoration of the rooms around the central volumes creates a contrast which emphasises the compositional centres of the building even more.
The perimeter spaces use a combination of the texture of the rough-hewn concrete and the smooth surface of the plastered walls. Accentuated lush colours and wood textures are used only in the elements of individual products and furniture.
