- Production Technology
- The kindergarten was built using locally sourced natural materials to reflect its connection to the forest setting. The facade is clad in durable, weather-resistant dark panels that merge visually with the shadows of the surrounding trees. Locally sourced wood was used for the courtyard floors to ensure tactile comfort for children's play. The construction process emphasized sustainability and child safety, incorporating large, shatterproof glass panels for panoramic windows and thoughtful sun-shading elements to ensure natural light while preventing overheating.
- Inspiration
- The kindergarten's design is inspired by the natural beauty of the Baltic forest, with its birch and pine trees shaping the architectural form. The goal was to create a nurturing space that fosters children's connection with nature. Drawing from child-centered learning principles, the design emphasizes sensory exploration, natural light, and outdoor views. The hexagonal courtyard symbolizes a "world of wonder" from a child's perspective, encouraging curiosity, play, and growth.
- Project Duration
- The project began in 2021 in Vilnius, Lithuania, and was completed in 2023. The kindergarten is located in the 44-hectare "Uogu slenis" development, adjacent to a Baltic forest of birch and pine trees.
