Campus Master Plan Montessori Center School & Farm
An architectural rendering of a timber-clad educational pavilion with a clerestory roof monitor, useful as a precedent for rural campus and school architecture.
- What we like about this project
- The wide overhanging roof extends far beyond the main wall plane to shelter an outdoor walkway.

- Geometry
- Low-slung, elongated single-story volume topped with a prominent clerestory monitor and overhanging corrugated metal roof.
- Facade system
- Vertical timber board siding with deep overhangs and clerestory strip windows.
- Structural guess
- Timber post and beam framing with a light steel or timber truss roof.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion scale relative to children playing in the foreground.
- Lighting
- Bright midday daylight with soft shadows cast by children and trees under a scattered cloud sky.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, active, and pastoral with a sense of open-air community learning.
- Environmental context
- Open suburban or rural campus setting featuring a wide grass playing field and surrounding mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- A generous lawn foreground leads the eye across an open play field toward the sheltered, shaded porch edge of the long building.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical timber slats and structural bays punctuated by recessed windows along the long facade.
