KINDERGARTEN VIMPERK

In collaboration with tiarstudio.

Small children are still almost untouched matter, which the kindergarten is still shaping. In the same way, the primordial untouched mass of the building was shaped by its surroundings and curled into a warm embrace beckoning children to adventure within. This elegant arch enables the smooth expansion of an otherwise very narrow pedestrian path and the creation of a dignified vestibule of the entrance to the kindergarten, where parents and children can spend pleasant moments. The outside of the arch is immediately connected to the greenery of the private gardens of the individual classes, where children can indulge in games undisturbed thanks to the appropriate orientation of the building.

The building is designed as an inconspicuous one-story wooden pavilion inspired by local architecture, but conceived in a playful form that meets the requirements of a modern kindergarten. Thanks to the chosen materials of the facade – wood and sheet metal, the building will age pleasantly and acquire character. This raw facade forms a solid protective envelope from the outside world in contrast to the warm, colorful interior of the kindergarten. The proposed roads connect smoothly to the surroundings and ensure maximum efficient access through the territory. At the same time, thanks to landscaping, they provide enough corners for pausing and resting, as well as for children’s games.
