Excerpt: Modular Kindergarten, designed by Architekt Maciej Franta, creates an architecture of simplicity as minimalist background for colorful and expressive preschool life and respect to the existing values. The whole idea of the building is based on forming architecture as a backdrop for preschool events while continuing to form continuation of the existing architecture. Kindergarten rooms directly open onto kindergarten garden swallowing for a seamless direct connection between the interior and garden.

It is the first in Krakow and one of the first in Poland modular kindergarten facilities fully realized in steel frame technology.
Thanks to its application, from the beginning of the design process until the building is commissioned only three months have passed for use. Attempts were made to create an architecture of simplicity as minimalist background for colorful and expressive preschool life and respect to the existing values”-says the architect. The kindergarten building is stylistically consistent with the assumption’s minimalism-devoid of details, it affects through its geometry and large areas of white the façade contrasting with the glazing stripes.
The whole idea of the building is based on forming architecture as a backdrop for preschool events while continuing to form continuation of the existing architecture. Such an effect was obtained thanks to the tectonic transposition of the solid a historic building and shaping a form with a modern expression on its basis. Building designed to integrate with the natural surroundings.
Kindergarten rooms directly they open onto kindergarten garden swallowing for a seamless direct connection between the interior with garden.
