A Bronze Montessori School Wedges onto a Challenging Lot
“Freedom within limits” is one of the characteristics of a Montessori education, and the design of Fayetteville Montessori Elementary School in northwest Arkansas is a perfect example. Situated near a creek, the triangular structure cuts a modern and exciting figure that few would guess is the result of extreme constraints.
Those constraints are due to the creek itself, which, while it gives students idyllic views and hands-on learning opportunities, was initially a problem for the team at Marlon Blackwell Architects. The creek’s floodplain extends over much of the land parcel, so when Blackwell and his team were first drawing up plans, they quickly saw they had just a small triangle of usable building space. But once the architects embraced this form, they were able to achieve an innovative solution that stayed in boundaries while delivering everything the school needed.
