Work submitted for the competition
"Best Interior Diploma 2023/2025".
The goal of the project is to create a space that properly stimulates a child's development. A kindergarten is a place where they spend a significant part of their time, and a well-designed space is a friendly environment that creates situations for learning about the world and exploring the properties and observations of the environment. Children will form a sense of aesthetics and build architectural patterns in it.

The project focuses on caring for the comprehensive and individual development of the child - it takes into account the child's needs, talents and stages of development. The kindergarten allows for child care and teaching by the authority, and the child's stay can exceed five hours a day. The project assumes a division into two groups, for which two rooms with bathrooms on separate floors have been separated. Meal preparation facilities were also provided.

The entire volume is divided into teaching, administrative and office, hygiene and sanitary, kitchen and auxiliary rooms. Educational rooms are designed to promote concentration and harmonious development of the child. They are multifunctional spaces, and can also serve as meeting places for children and parents, and are spaces for play, gymnastics and rhythmics. For the younger group, a recliner is provided, as well as a place to store bedding. Modular furniture was used, which has the advantage of quick rotation and adaptation to the child's growth. They allow intuitive and easy stacking, so the room space can change its function.

In the garden, a "Creative Space" has been planned - so there are a "Cone of Color", a "Ball of Motion", a "Playful Prism" and a "Mathematical Cube", scattered around the plot like blocks. They took the forms of basic solids because of the way a child perceives the world. The simplification of the forms of objects is evident in the drawings, for example: a tree consists of a circle and a rectangle. Shadows and gradation of tones are not important to him. Analysis of the drawings shows that the child exercises his eyes in spontaneous reading of forms. He simplifies motifs taken from the immediate environment. Differentiated wooden geometric solids are strong signs in space. In the eyes of a child, they are heavily scaled. Each has an assigned target scenario and didactic path intuitively read by the child.

The project is designed to develop the imagination and improve the motor skills of the youngest, also to stimulate the child's cognitive activity. Complementing the bright and subdued colors and materials used in the design are color accents that attract and focus the child's attention on a particular piece of information. Attention and engagement are stimulated. Using heavily saturated colors in large quantities would have the opposite effect.

Throughout the project there is a characteristic rhythm taken from the division of the railings located on the balcony on the second floor. It is alternately a 30 centimeter square and a 30×60 centimeter rectangle. The rhythm organizes the space and delineates the composition in the interiors.
