Jill Stone Elementary School at Vickery Meadow in Dallas, Texas, is both a replacement campus and a relief school for a second elementary. The campus is built on a heavily treed site that affords unique opportunities for outdoor engagement. The architectural form follows an arc to serve three distinct functions: minimal site disturbance, maximum views to nature and daylight on the north, and a welcome embrace of the community to the south. These functions occur under a single monolithic gesture, a floating roof that shelters three levels of instructional space. This modern “tree fort” offers students and educators playful opportunities to connect with nature.
