Central Coast Academy
Student: Helen Pollock Wolfe
This elementary school design proposal emphasizes community, nature discovery and the singular beauty of California’s central coast. The project is anchored by a central learning village, with classrooms, art studio, library and outdoor spaces for play, learning and exploration. Sensory gardens with native and climate-adapted plants in a serene palette – accented with red and orange in high-energy areas – retreat outside the central village into lightly cultivated meadows, chaparral and oak woodland.
