The United Design Group (UDG) China has begun construction the “Xieli Garden” resettlement community kindergarten in Wuxi. The three-story building, designed as a “spiraling elliptical ring,” aims to create an ideal learning environment for children with ample natural light and a direct connection to outdoor space.

“Corresponding to the oval square,” described UDG, “the building is designed with a streamlined volume to create a dynamic effect when moving forward. The layout is in the form of oval introversion with a courtyard in the center as the outdoor playground and the flag-rose field, which also ensures enough sunshine for Kids’ Activity Room and indoor ventilation.”

“The courtyard south to the building is the activities space with sandboxes, runway and plantations; and considering the shield over traffic noise along the road, it is designed with micro-landscape to subtly separate the kindergarten from the traffic. Thus the affection of traffic noise to inner kindergarten would be mitigated dramatically.”
