The program is simple and functional, equipped with sanitary facilities and changing rooms as well as rooms where to play and learn and to create events for the little ones, being able to transfer these moments to the outside gardens in a contiguous and direct way while preserving respect for the values of the center and to the expressiveness of the whole.

The kindergarten building is stylistically consistent with the assumptions minimalism - devoid of details, it affects through its geometry and large areas of whitethe façade contrasting with the glazing stripes. The whole idea of the building is based on forming architecture as a backdrop for preschool events while continuing to form continuation of the existing architecture.
Such an effect was obtained thanks to the tectonic transposition of the solid a historic building and shaping a form with a modern expression on its basis.
