Named 'Hayarden,' the educational institution is situated in a working-class neighborhood and is intended to "become a home and a safe space for the children." The project is taken up by designer Sarit Shani Hay, architects Chen Steinberg Navon and Ayelet Fisher, with support from not-for-profit organization Zionut 2000. Some of the new features of the refugee children school boast house-like communal spaces and [vibrantly colored embellishments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multichildcare-crche) in the form of furniture and decor. The aesthetic is intended to be uplifting and playful, hinting at a tolerant environment. In addition, designer Lavi Kushelevich contributed to the project with an "[ecological garden and playground](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-rain)."
