Color Pallete
Basically, the newly refurbished interior of Soyoo Joyful Growth Center has the same color pallet. This color pallet allows an easy orientation in the building too. The application of this color pallet is not limited to the wall only but also used from the ground up to the ceiling.
World Orientation and Geography Area
Children also can learn about the geography and world orientation in a special area. This area is located on the second floor of the building and it is kind of a huge area. The floor is a wooden floor with some purple color accents on recent spots.
Modern Interior

The application of some colorful strings on the limited pallet spans from the roof to the ground inside the building. It makes a secondary facade with double layers and makes an area between the existing volume and the outside. The lights can easily penetrate into the building through the facade.
