Kindergarten

Idea projektu

The basic concept of the design is based on the location of the plot in relation to the cardinal points and the connections to the existing road. The main entrance is oriented to the southeast side due to the accessibility of people coming or arriving mainly from the east side. Here, it was essential to create a meaningful public space to guide parents with children to enter the nursery independently. For my design here I used two circles placed in such a way that they do not interfere, but on the contrary also guide the entrance from all sides. They are also there to provide seating. The trees inside the circles serve as screening, but also as quite dominant greenery, which can be seen first when approaching the kindergarten. The design concept of the nursery building itself is based on taking parts of the masses from the basic mass from a functional and structural point of view. These have been removed to create the lee of the entrance, to create parking spaces and to provide sunlight for each classroom. The kindergarten itself is conceived as a plan libre, using walls in combination with steel columns due to the large spans of the French windows. However, these are hidden behind the window frames on the inside so that they are not visible at first glance. In addition, strip windows and the simplicity and cleanliness of the façade are used in combination with the wood cladding. A flat roof with extensive greenery brings many benefits in different seasons. The roof overhang is only within the ceiling slab and is created according to the cardinal points in different lengths, providing shading to the large French windows so that the building does not overheat in summer. A spacious terrace interconnects the two classrooms, allowing for easy interaction between the children, where they can meet for communal outdoor meals on nearby benches, for example. A flat landing in the southern part of the building can also be envisaged. Overall, with this design I wanted to achieve as much simplicity as possible in terms of layout, but also in terms of materials, where the whole building will have a clean look, but also a comfortable feel thanks to the wood used for the facade.

The aim was to design a two-class kindergarten in the village of Bochor. The requirements were fulfilled by designing two classes of 30 children each with a possible extension in the southern part, thus increasing the capacity by another 20 children. The building is single-storey with two separate entrances, one for the public and one for staff, both of which are covered by a flat roof projection, thus achieving a lee. The main entrance leads to a vestibule for possible pram drop-off, then to a spacious entrance hall, which is lit by a skylight. From here there is access to the headmaster's office with its connection to the isolation room, the teaching staff, the cleaning room, the technical room and the toilet. Parents continue to send their children to the changing rooms of both classes with direct access to the washrooms and the dining room. The playroom and the dining room are separated only imaginatively. Catering operates through a dispensing room, which is accessed via the food store, also accessible from the hall. Food can also be dispensed through a dispensing window directly onto the common terrace of both classrooms. Access to the terrace is provided by sliding French windows from the dining room or the games room.
