Actur Kidergarten

The project is conceived in plan and section as a large concrete enclosure, which inside is home to four wooden boxes, by means of which the program of classrooms, dormitories and multi-purpose room, is created.

The box that houses the multi-purpose room protrudes in plan from the concrete enclosure, as its distinctive longitudinal section and extending itself as a protective arm of the playground.

The classrooms, facing east, are protected from sun exposure by the surrounding concrete, which acts as a porch. In section, the wooden boxes open into the common courtyard, facing east-classrooms area, with a wooden and glass curtain wall facade, closing to the west.

With the exterior finishes, environmental criteria have been followed. The ventilated facade is made with a panelled finish made of pine, reused from the shuttering.
