The purpose of the project is to adapt existing premises on the ground floor of a building containing 112 subsidized housing units for young people, which we had just constructed, to make it suitable for a Community Kindergarten.
The premises have two levels. On the lower level there are two entrances from the street. The upper floor is the main floor of the centre. Part of the courtyard, which is on the same level, is incorporated into the kindergarten as an outdoor play space.
The corridors are arranged next to the courtyard facades, whilst the classrooms and spaces for staff and administration are arranged next to the exterior facades. A two-storey porch on Avinguda de Catalunya facade protects the classroom windows from direct sunlight as they are south-facing.
The air circulation, heating and solar energy installations are on the roof of the building.
