Modern architecture surrounded by natural landscape

——简介

It is a land with the charm of modern art and youthful vigor.

▲Located in downtown Xuanwu District, Nanjing, the base is surrounded by many old industrial buildings and low-and-medium-end commercial premises, so it is not a vibrant place.

In modern city life, many parents are afraid their children may lose at the starting line, so young students are often under heavy pressure. In such a stressful environment, we as designers often ask ourselves: what can we do about it? What can we do for these children? Coincidentally, we got a kindergarten-related project, so we will take this change to make an interesting design.

This project will temporarily be used as a sales center, and turned back into a community kindergarten later.

▲Single Out Architectural Elements, Establish Consistent Design Language

The building cluster with modern fold line design looks like an exquisite gift box, and the landscape is paper craft and also a silk ribbon to wrap up and highlight the building, resembling a gift given to a child.

The waterscape of falling water is created by the elevation difference of 1 meter between the site and the sidewalk of the municipal government. Architectural elements are used to extend the display interface and enhance a feeling of ritual and territory for the place. Water pouring into the pool provides the space with more vitality.

The landscape “silk ribbon” and the building “gift box” add radiance to each other, and the extended façade casts a reflection in the water, creating small patches of light and shade.

The gatehouse will be used as the main entrances of the community, so it must be highly distinctive and prestige in design. Meanwhile, taking safety into consideration, the designer uses metal curtains, stainless steel and stone for decoration. The gatehouse features clean and clear design with a modern look.

A clean and tranquil place

——Patio

The clean and neat atrium is a transitional space to connect the front yard and back yard. It is a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of a city and a tree hole full of childhood secrets.

As a space for extracurricular activities in the kindergarten, a large flat ground is needed for children to play games. The architectural form has determined how a tree house is built. To ensure consistent architectural language, white baked finish is applied on the external façade and wood is used internally, then a comfy decoration is done to make internal space cozier.

A natural classroom for fun learning

——Back Area

The back yard is a long-term space for the kindergarten. To add modern elements and blur the sense of boundaries, a grassy slope is used to form a natural wall and diversify street display interface. Sunken classroom, overhead covered bridge and recreational facilities are provided to create more fun in limited space, which enriches extracurricular activities for children and encourage them to have more fun outdoors.
