DESIGN NAME: Kaleidoscope
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Kindergarten
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.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The main goal of the project was to create a space that is full of various functions and offers many scenarios of behavior. These principles were also laid down in other premises of the kindergarten: in the 3D physical education complex, in the music hall, in the workshop and in the pool.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 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.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: 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.
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.
