Year: 2022

The concept is based on the words of the director of gymnasium Ivan Bogantsev: "A school is a spaceship." The territory is already covered by a wide range of shrubs and trees, so the conceptual image of the project: the kindergarten is a starship that has landed in the forest.

Group playgrounds are divided into clusters, where children can move around to choose any type of activity - creative, active, team play, or individual. Verandas for the groups have accent colors and represent the "cosmic layer" of the project, while natural coverings and landscaping emphasize the naturalness of the territory.

Project landscaping has educational function. The range of plants is selected in such a way that the child can get acquainted with the variety of textures and shapes of wildlife and use this material in the game. The project provides a bike path for studying the rules of the road. One of the areas opens up to the facade of the building, forming a single space with amphitheaters for holding holidays with parents and educators up to the facade of the building, forming a single space with amphitheaters for holding holidays with parents and educators.
