The Nature School of Fairview: Where Architecture Harmonizes with Nature

Transforming Early Education with Sustainable Design

Project Update: A Vision for Sustainable Expansion

DorianBahr is proud to announce the commencement of design and planning for a new, two-story, 10,000 sq. ft. free-standing building at the Nature School of Fairview's campus in Sulphur Springs, Texas. This project is a testament to our commitment to creating educational environments that not only meet all modern code requirements but also respect and enhance the natural landscape. Our design meticulously integrates a new structure while preserving the site's existing natural elements and original buildings. The architectural style will be a unique "Glass Treehouse," made from steel, bamboo, and glass, and is being developed as a turnkey Design-Build/GC project.


Groundbreaking Site Planning for Environmental Harmony

The site planning for the Nature School of Fairview is a showcase of thoughtful design that respects the environment. We are adding a new structure and required site upgrades while retaining all existing structures and gravel parking, ensuring minimal disruption to the existing campus. The plan also includes a conceptual vision for a future treehouse and splash pad, laying the groundwork for sustainable, long-term expansion that will enrich the children's learning experience. The circular design of the building, which will have a 52-foot diameter, is an homage to the site and its natural surroundings.


A Sanctuary of Modern Learning

The interior of the new facility is designed to be a sanctuary of learning and growth. With seven classrooms, offices, and meeting spaces, the layout is carefully planned to accommodate the school's program. Each space will be a place for discovery, balancing the functionality required for modern education with an aesthetic that connects to the natural world just outside the windows. The design is being carefully directed by the client’s budget to ensure a seamless process.


Collaborative Excellence in Design & Compliance

This project's success hinges on a meticulous approach to regulatory compliance. Our team is focused on ensuring that every aspect of the design meets or exceeds all local fire, building, and ordinance codes. This rigorous process, combined with our collaborative design approach, ensures a seamless journey from concept to reality. The Nature School of Fairview is poised to be a benchmark for sustainable educational design, proving that new construction can coexist beautifully with an established, natural environment.
