Article source: BB Arhitekti The project for the kindergarten has been assigned with the 1st prize on the architectural competition commissioned by the municipality of Brežice in cooperation with The Chamber of Architecture and The Spatial Planning of Slovenia in 2011. The new kindergarten building is subordinated to the green exterior space and skillfully designed in a form of a continuous spatial loop which surrounds the entire playground. Uniform concept of the playground that starts with an extensive central atrium on the south of the plot and continues under the tract on the 1st floor to the north part of the building site, assures the feeling of safety and connectivity of the kindergarten’s departments.

Its feature rises from the remote northern playground via wide green slope to the 1st floor level. It gradually rounds up around the central atrium across the assembled ascending roofs in the east, south and west tract and concludes itself into a semi-translucent pergola of the covered playground on the building roof.

All residential spaces for children are opening to the extensive central atrium thus enabling a qualitative lighting of spaces with a great amount of sunlight.

The relief dynamics of the roof is bold in conception and playful at the same time because it continues into a similarly designed relief of the playground which is structured with elongated and low elevations. The appearance of the building is conceived with a continuous membrane that corrugates in folded line throughout the whole volume, while two main entrances are folded concavely into the building. Longitudinal parking and traffic areas are situated outside the building, on the southern edge of the site, near the existing public street, enabling the isolation of dwelling area of the children.
