The latest architectural space to pique our interest is the Hefei Wantou Vanke Paradise Art Wonderland building. Created by Shanghai Tianhua Architectural Design, the space was built to support education in the new residential area near Hefei and includes a park, 15-class kindergarten which use interconnecting buildings.

The inspiration for the space originally came from the children themselves — their paintings were the basis of the space, which is why the design studio decided to go with boldly colored buildings. It also wanted the buildings to be easily identifiable, so decided on using sloping tops on the roofs. The courtyard was also specifically designed to be a reflection of the childhood world. Take a look through the gallery to see the space for yourself.
