Toddler's Den, Ahmedabad International School
A curve built to be climbed, crawled over, touched and explored endlessly.
Toddler’s Den was designed as a workshop space for the youngest explorers. This fluid, organic structure draws children into its curves, reflecting their innate playfulness and curiosity at every turn.
The form is a seamless landscape, rising and dipping into molds that kids can scale, run over, and claim as their own. Designed using parametric modelling, the structure was fabricated off-site, piece by piece. An exposed skeleton of pre-bent metal sections within holds everything together - raw, proud and honest in its process. The topography is created by wrapping bent metal sheets, layered with insulation and IPS; keeping this cool while holding the weight of joy in motion.
Beyond a school, we like to call it a playground of possibilities.
Toddler’s Den, as a structure, doesn't sit on the site- it lives; dissolving the edges between building and land, function and fun. It’s our expression of architecture that creates space rather than simply holding it– fluid, fearless and full of wonder.
