The Design

About JNGL By Progress Centro Infantil

JNGL By Progress es un centro infantil ubicado dentro de un espacio de oficinas en Sofía, Bulgaria. El interior de 800 metros cuadrados está diseñado para niños de dos a doce años, con áreas para jugar, aprender, dibujar y actuar. Una temática de jungla guía la distribución, y las zonas se denominan Bahía del Cocodrilo, Isla de los Monos y Bajo el Cielo Estrellado. Los tabiques móviles y el mobiliario móvil permiten dividir o unir las áreas según las actividades diarias. Los grandes paramentos acristalados mantienen el interior abierto y permiten el paso de la luz natural. Varios elementos interactivos pueden ser reorganizados por los propios niños.

Unique Properties: This is a project for the kids centre accompanying the office space of Progress in Sofia. It is a multidisciplinary space where children can play, learn, draw, perform and discover the world around them by a variety of activities.
Dimensions & Packaging: Total area of project: 800 sq.m
Tags: interior design, kids center, arts, education center
Production Technology: Space is flexible and all spaces can be divided or joined by the use of movable walls, and entirely movable furniture that children can interact with. Transparency is kept with large glazed walls to let the natural light flow through space.
Design Challenge: The overall theme was developed around the Jungle. Different areas were designed in terms of decorations to match their function and activities happening inside. We used areas such as Monkey Island (arts atelier), Crocodile Bay ( for small children) , Under the Stary skies (for the Library), etc.
Research: We made a deep research on what are the interests of children in different age groups and made a child-safety environment. Our main goal was to create a space that will appeal to kids from 2 to 12 years old and that serves with its flexibility as a background for the various activities that happen every day there.
Inspiration: The main theme of the space was JUNGLE. All different areas are named after different zones in the JUNGLE (e.g Crocodile Bay, Monkey Island, Under the Starry sky) and the overall theme is introduced and developed by the incorporation of friendly graphics and furniture in the space.
Project Duration: started: December 2017
finalised: June 2018
location: Sofia - Bulgaria
Operation Flow: We integrated of interactive elements that children can change, build-up, reconstruct and rearrange. For example, we integrated into one of the decorations an animal that children can change its faces - thus by the mere act of play to learn about different emotions.
