The Design

About JNGL By Progress Centro Infantil

JNGL By Progress é um centro infantil situado num espaço de escritórios em Sófia, Bulgária. O interior de 800 metros quadrados foi concebido para crianças dos dois aos doze anos, com áreas para brincar, aprender, desenhar e realizar espetáculos. O tema da selva orienta a distribuição do espaço, e as zonas recebem nomes como Baía dos Crocodilos, Ilha dos Macacos e Sob o Céu Estrelado. Paredes móveis e mobiliário móvel permitem dividir ou unir as áreas conforme as atividades diárias. Amplas paredes envidraçadas mantêm o interior aberto e permitem a passagem da luz natural. Vários elementos interativos podem ser reorganizados pelas próprias crianças.

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.
