About the project (provided by the applicant)
The spatial concept of the kindergarten is based on the idea of a micro-village, where separate single-story wooden structures are placed around the perimeter of the site, facing an inner garden and connected by a single gallery. This gallery serves as a communication corridor and creates a clear, safe boundary between the kindergarten territory and the city. As a result, the building forms a unified spatial sculpture. The sloped roof geometry of the facility refers to the familiar image of traditional wooden buildings. The projecting volumes house group areas, a sports zone, an assembly hall, and workshops. The perimeter gallery includes administrative areas, medical offices, and technical rooms.
