Production Technology
One of the advantages of this project is the ease of implementation, environmental friendliness and manufacturability of finishing materials.
Design Challenge
This project can become typical for kindergartens, as it meets the main principles of the studio. It is easy to implement for various room configurations, and meets the values of sustainable design.
Research
The interior of the new building is similar to a white paper layout. Pure, white space that is impersonal, emotionless. A white room is transformed at the moment when a ray of the sun (at dawn or at sunset) passes through the windows: light and shadow appear, all surfaces are painted with different shades, colors change during the day. But what if you direct light through colored glass onto a white layout? Such effects became the inspiration for creating the interior of the children's educational space.
Inspiration
The design was based on the image of a kaleidoscope, in which light is reflected in mirrors and colored glass from different angles. We added colored abstract highlights to the light walls, thus creating a cozy and varied interior.
Project Duration
Concept project. Moscow, Russia, 2021
Operation Flow
A group room is divided into two parts by a transformable partition. A sliding transformable partition allows, without reducing the area, to create independent zones: play and bedroom. For more flexibility, we used mobile tables and stackable chairs. A flexible environment is very important for the development of such personal qualities as independence, the ability to make choices, as well as for the formation of communication skills with peers and adults.
