Waldorf Architecture: Kindergarten and Final Years Coach House

Founded in Edinburgh in 1919, the Steiner School occupies a range of bespoke and adapted child-friendly buildings, including the unhurried, purpose-built Kindergarten for the Early Years and newly converted 19th Century coach house which houses classrooms for the penultimate and final years of school. Both are living examples of a community approach to construction, with pupil, teacher and parent participation.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

Waldorf campuses worldwide follow a remarkable and consistent ethos, drawing inspiration from founder Rudolf Steiner’s teachings and his Goetheanum in Switzerland, which is considered a masterpiece of twentieth century expressionist architecture.
