KOR18

This kindergarten is organised as a single, flowing volume around a series of courtyards. A long, curved roof connects the different groups and creates a covered path that shelters the children as they move between the entrance, the playrooms and the gardens. The building is kept low, so that its scale is closer to the body of a child than to that of the adults.

Rendered walls in warm pink and red tones contrast with generous glazing and timber interiors. The inner courtyard, planted with trees, becomes the heart of the building: a protected outdoor space visible from every room. Circulation diagrams show how daily routines, from arrival to rest, have been carefully choreographed. The architecture aims to offer both shelter and openness, a place where children can feel secure while discovering the world around them.
