Text description provided by the architects. The 4 Nurseries project has been designed into a former printing shop. They are specific by a game of playful shapes and colors. This completes the project at several levels:
The adaptation to the existing building:
Angles and curves integrate the structural elements that have been preserved. They contribute to the fluidity of inner spaces.
The functionality:
The colors of the vertical forms extend to the floor and ceiling to highlight functional areas: waiting space in the lobby, bedrooms, changing rooms, kitchens and dining areas. Each living space is integrated into two colored volumes.
The created ambiences:
The alternation of colored shapes and light breaks create a rhythm that animates the circulation and the access to the nurseries. Day light changes generate moving colors and reflections and introduce a dynamic atmosphere. The bay-windows allow seeing the volume extension inside the inner living spaces and open views to the garden outside. The project generate a fun environment proper to the cognitive perceptual children' development.
