Montessori Kindergarden

“Montessori” kindergarden concept derives from the connection between the yard and the enclosure, its context as well as the flow of spaces that encourage engagment between children. This led to the notion of subdividing the volume into discrete sections, precisely into three interconnected volumes, all linked by an underground slab. They bear a closer resemblance to the scale of a residential house, with an emphasis on the pitch of the building’s roofs to underscore the fundamental form of a dwelling. At its core, the children’s garden adopts a light wood color palette. The extensive use of resin and the elimination of sharp corners contribute to mitigating potential hazards, allowing children to move freely and safely. The classrooms embrace light color schemes and lightweight materials, creating a space reminiscent of a home where children can fully express themselves. As mentioned earlier, the concept evolves from a fluid movement and the selection of basic volumes and materials, where three house-like volumes are symmetrically distributed in the area. In the first “house,” we find the “meeting point,” while the other two “houses” are organized as classrooms. The predominant features are green and recreational spaces, including a sports and recreational field at the end.
