Due to the poor technical condition of the old kindergarten building, authorities of Zlotniki Kujawskie decided to undertake a tendering procedure for a design of a new building for 125 pupils, grouped in 5 departments and to use the same, extensive building plot. The basic criteria which have to be met by the newly designed facility, in addition of course being in accordance with the planning decision describing rules of the location of investment of public purposes, were firstly the need of locating all functions of the building at the ground floor block, so that all the rooms have direct access to the garden with a playground and secondly the use of the simplest and cheapest ways of building in particular the technology of masonry construction with polystyrene blocks as thermal insulation and plastered facades, all to fit a small budget for this purpose.
