3 stages of child development: Newborns’ sensory receptors are developing. Hollow brick façades shield them from external elements that could overstimulate their senses, allowing soft light to nurture their experiences. Infants’ sensitivity to changes is heightened. Double-layered façade ensures a secure environment. Interplay of sun reflecting throughout the day kindles their curiosity, indicating a world beyond the walls. Toddlers eagerly navigate their surroundings. Low windowsills aid their movement, providing a window to the green landscapes, initiating their first dialogue with nature.
