The area of investment is located on Jerzego Zaruby Street in quiet estate Kabaty in Ursynów District in southern Warsaw, only 500m from Kabacki Forest.
The main idea comes from observation of lifestyle of contemporary children. We spend more and more time indoor. Instead of playing on the playground kids spend time in front of electronic devices.
Compact 3 storey shape of building enabled creating huge open patio of area of 2000sqm on relatively small lot with an easy access for children to green outside space. Addictionally to playground function special places for outdoor classes were designed.
Thanks to this solutions kids can spend much more time outside than in usual school. Wild meadow vegetation designed on the patio inspires kids to play, explore, make flower wreathand, catch butterflies and may others. Common play also empower bonds between kids and developes social skills.
