Five great kindergardens in Europe for our fifth selection of previously featured projects. Check them all after the break.

Rosales del Canal / Magén Arquitectos

Wolfgang Roth Architekten’s new kindergarten building in Stuttgart, which houses space for the children and staff, features a prefabricated wood façade with light filled interiors to promote learning. In an attempt to bring the children closer to the exterior, the classrooms were designed around internal courtyards (read more…)

Segrt Hlapic Kindergarten / Radionica Arhitekture
The new kindergarten in Sesvete is one of more poetic projects in recent Croatian architecture. That which was obvious in the competition entry sketches from 2004 was confirmed in the realisation of the micro-world oriented inwards, poetic, but geometrically precise; a meadow softly enveloped by the ground-floor stretch of kindergarten units (read more…)
