Ring Around a Tree

English language classrooms built as an addition to Fuji Kindergarten.
The building height is no more than 5m, but there are seven floors.
The floorplates are layered forming the classrooms and outdoor play area.
In some spaces the ceiling height is so low that only children can pass through.
It was named “Ring Around a Tree” by Sir Peter Cook, when he visited the site. The is an allusion to the traditional English song “Ring Around the Rosy”.
