Completed within a school that promotes learning through movement, the project offers a spatial pause that aims to support presence, calm, and reflection, without being a classroom or a corridor.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design introduces a soft asymmetry, with the circular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/childrens-spaces\/\"><strong>room<\/strong><\/a> slightly offset to form a gentle arc that naturally guides entry. A curved curtain follows this line, turning the simple act of entering into a quiet ritual. At the center, a square platform is recessed into the floor, creating a gathering place defined by presence, where children are free to sit, lie down, or gather.<\/p>\n<p>images courtesy of Atelier Boter<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">\u00c0 Raum allows for solitude by holding space<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/atelierboter\">Pingtung-based<\/a><\/strong> Atelier Boter surrounds this central square with deep-set window alcoves, shaped as a small personal retreat. These nooks allow for solitude without full separation so that kids can be alone while still feeling connected to the group. The interplay between the circle and square, center and edge, creates a slow, thoughtful rhythm in the space.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carbonized cork clads the walls of \u00c0 Raum, providing acoustic absorption and a warm, earthy scent. Natural light and muted tones give the space its meditative mood. Nothing is loud, and nothing insists in this room that holds space, rather than filling it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the interlocking of circle and square slows the pace<\/p>\n<p>a circular footprint, gently offset, creates an arc<\/p>\n<p>central space used for group activities<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>window alcoves serve as pockets for privacy and introspection<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>different floor levels give different spatial qualities<\/p>\n<p>the arc defines a threshold that is marked by a soft, curved curtain<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>\u00c0 Raum offers a spatial pause that aims to support presence, calm, and reflection<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00c0 Raum<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong> Atelier Boter | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/atelierboter\">@atelierboter<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>location: <\/strong>Pingtung, Taiwan<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><em>DIY submissions<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><em>here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>edited by: thomai tsimpou | designboom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/atelier-boter-circular-room-sunken-square-taiwanese-school-07-22-2025\/\">atelier boter shapes circular room around sunken square in taiwanese school<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>atelier boter carves sunken circular room in Taiwanese school \u00a0 In response to the request of a school in Pingtung, Taiwan, for a space where children can slow down and reconnect with themselves, Atelier Boter &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
