This Kindergarten is conceived as a welcoming and nurturing educational environment designed to respond to the needs of children, educators, and the local community. Located along Strada 13 Decembrie, the project stands as a contemporary insertion within Brașov’s expanding urban fabric.

Architectural Concept & Design

The concept emphasizes clarity, safety, and playfulness. The building is structured with distinct functional zones, ensuring separate circulation for children, staff, and services. Outdoor spaces and a partially protected courtyard form an essential part of the design, offering safe areas for play and interaction while maximizing natural light and connection to nature.

The architectural language is clean and contemporary, defined by simple volumes, thoughtful proportions, and a balance of solid and transparent surfaces. The design reflects a child-centered approach, where openness, accessibility, and human scale shape the overall experience.

Spatial Experience & Atmosphere

The interior layout prioritizes bright, flexible spaces that support both structured learning and creative play. Classrooms are oriented to capture natural light, while circulation areas double as informal gathering points. The overall atmosphere is one of warmth, safety, and curiosity—an environment where children can thrive.
