A school in living colour

Colourfulskool

In a departure from the typical putty-and-brown palette, a school in Amsterdam has splashed the main hall, staff room, library and other public spaces in vibrant shades of red, blue, yellow and green, and white stripes that reference sports jerseys. The designers wanted to entice concentration and playfulness for the children who attend classes there.

Take a look at more pictures of the exciting spaces at this school. Thanks to thecoolhunter.co.uk.

Our Place is a new school and ha colour themed class rooms. The walls outside and the spots on the dividing glass windows are all coordinated with kids chair colours. It looks great and each room is "themed" differently. The playground has a big modern pergola too.
