KINDERGARTEN AT VDNKH
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The kindergarten for 225 children located near the Green Park residential complex repeats the identity of the complex, built on a combination of bright facade elements. The group rooms located around the multi-colored atrium create the complex geometry of the building, the outriggers and falling elements resemble a volume assembled from children's cubes.
French specialists from the Dominique Coulon & Associes bureau, specializing in social infrastructure facilities (their portfolio includes more than 15 projects of schools, kindergartens and specialized educational institutions), developed the architectural concept incorporating the best international experience in designing spaces for raising a new children generation.

Site plan
A bird's eye view
The coloristic solutions are made on the principle of inversion. Colored plastered facades face the surrounding streets, while calm white facades face the courtyard saturated with bright landscaping elements.
Sections
The sports complex solution looks unusual for Russian kindergartens: due to the high height of the space next to it, it was possible to organize a small amphitheater, where children can play or watch cartoons projected onto the opposite wall
