TITLE: KINDERGARTEN IN MICHAŁOWICE | YEAR: 2020 | WHERE: MICHAŁOWICE | FOR: CITY HALL OF MICHAŁOWICE
The kindergarten design in Michałowice emphasizes the use of natural materials and avoids the use of plastics to sensitize children to the pervasive single-use of plastic, promoting eco-friendly solutions.
The building's regular form is reminiscent of a geometric toy, creating a playful and inviting atmosphere for children.
At the heart of the kindergarten is a colorful playground, which has been carefully designed to ensure it is well-lit with natural light. This thoughtful design choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the playground but also provides a bright and cheerful environment for the children to enjoy.
We have also ensured that the transition between the interior and exterior is seamless. From the classrooms on the ground floor, one can directly access the garden, allowing for an easy and fluid connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. This design feature enhances the overall experience for the children, providing them with a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor learning environments.
Each classroom on the first floor has its own terrace, from which one can descend to the garden. One of these terraces is particularly unique, featuring a slide that allows children to slide down into the garden.
Additionally, when selecting the location of the building on the plot, we made sure that not a single tree had to be cut down, preserving the natural environment.
