We skillfully integrated a vibrant preschool within an existing synagogue, crafting a space that balances educational activities with community functions. Our design optimizes multifunctional classrooms around a central communal hub, facilitating intuitive navigation and safe interaction for young learners. This innovative approach enriches daily educational experiences and supports larger community gatherings, enhancing both the usability and cultural significance of the space. This project sets a new standard in adaptive, educational design, transforming how community and learning coexist.
