Whitney Brothers Sky View Sanctuary

Award winner! The graceful curved openings invite children inside the cozy interior where the brilliant day and night skies create a calm, comforting personal space to relax, read, reflect or recharge away from the bustle of a busy classroom. The interior has built-in back rests, a floor pad and space for two children and one adult. The exterior has three cascading fixed shelves on one side and two adjustable shelves on the other for plenty of flexible book storage and display options. For safety, the wide openings and shatter-resistant transparent sky panels provide important visibility of children inside from all four sides. Scientific studies show that biophilic design can reduce stress, enhance creativity, focus clarity of thought and improve well-being, important health benefits that can lead to enhanced learning outcomes. The Sky View Sanctuary satisfies every state requirement for a dedicated quiet space in Early Learning environments and coordinates with all other pieces in our award-winning Nature View Collection, the world’s first biophilia-inspired furniture line for Early Learning.
