Kindergarten in Brno

The bachelor thesis focuses on the design of a kindergarten at Údolní street, near the public park Obilní trh in Brno-centre. The aim of this project is to create a new architectural and urban concept, that will benefit the surrounding areas. The building itself has one floor and a green roof which is accessible from the terrain. The entering space reacts to a path connecting the public park with the Špilberk castle. The kindergarten has its own garden for outdoor activities of its children. In the close neighbourhood, you can find an educational institution The Open Garden, The Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation. The concept tries to take the preschool education from an environmental point of view and aims to connect the children with nature and natural materials. For those reasons, a special window type was designed, one that children can play in. They are pulled from the form and therefore create an expression of the whole building. Along with a wooden facade, the building looks playfully and light. The wooden planks rise up a meter above the roof creating a railing of the green roof. The building is designed as a public educational institution for preschool children. There are two separate departments with the capacity of 48 children. The sleeping takes place in the playrooms, there is also a dinning room, locker room, office, kitchen for preparing the meals, and the necessary facilities. The shape of the building creates a barrier between the public space and the private garden of the kindergarten
