ARHIS, a Latvia based architectural organization has proposed a very elaborate and ‘green’ design for the plan of building a kindergarten in the Latvian city Riga. The proposal consists of classrooms that outline the beautiful stretch of greenery – or the large park – giving the children a constant touch of nature.
The building is divided into particular spaces such as play and learning for different age groups. The green park is also connected to the urban park, however, the access to the same is controlled in order to maintain safety of the children. The structure incorporates many glass facades in order to maintain the strong ‘green’ connection. There is a sports facility, assembly hall, and a swimming pool that are divided by glass facades. The incorporation of glass makes the structure energy efficient as daylight is optimally used. Furthermore, there are energy saving lamps that are used inside the rooms. In place of the regular staircases there are tubular slides which provide more fun while climbing down.
This innovative design by ARHIS not only fulfills the expectations from a child’s point of view but also incorporates nature in all aspects of the kindergarten nurturing children with nature.
