| Marin Montessori School Expansion Classrooms, Administrative Offices, Sitework Multiple Buildings, 15,375 square feet Wood Frame Green Building Materials Architect: Pfau Architects Herrero has completed the two phase expansion of the Marin Montessori School in Corte Madera. All participants in this project have worked together to ensure that the new classroom buildings and grounds not only incorporate the natural bayside environment but that construction of the project itself becomes a learning experience for the children. In keeping with Montessori’s philosophy, green building materials and sustainable systems are being used extensively. Technically the project has presented some challenges since the job site is located directly adjacent to the Bay. Foam foundation blocks were used to reduce the weight of the structure and effectively allow the building to "float." |
