Project Details

After receiving an anonymous legacy donation made in honor of the school's former Head Úna Barry, The Montessori School of Greater Hartford was able to expedite their plans to create a unique play environment in their West Hartford location. The Montessori style of private education focuses on self-directed, creative, and collaborative learning. 

To Design worked with a committee of parents and teachers to design and build a playground composed of elements from nature. Logs, branches, stumps, sand, and other features will be non-directive play elements as envisioned by Montessori education visionary, Maria Montessori. Creativity was at a premium as budgets were tight and expectations were high.

When complete in the summer of 2018, this will be a one-of-a-kind educational, creative play facility.
