From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate/Middle School Common Areas

Situated in the “Mid Cape” region of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate/Middle School joins two existing and separate schools. It has been designed with an emphasis on biophilic principles; it prioritizes universal design for learning methods. Using biomorphic shapes, colors that draw from the site’s abundant ecology, natural materials, and soothing rounded edges to ease transitions, the building connects occupants to nature. Conceptually, the building represents a journey through Cape Cod’s rich habitats, drawing inspiration from the shores, marshes, and forests of the Mid Cape.
