AKM Kindergarten and Nursery / HIBINOSEKKEI + Youji no Shiro + Kids Design Labo
Briefly

In response to the flooding of the existing nursery building due to a river overflow caused by heavy rains, we planned a 'hilltop nursery to protect children from flooding' by placing soil on the ground and setting the floor level at 2 meters above the ground.
The large, undulating garden encourages children to exercise, and the wide variety of plants stimulates children's curiosity, providing disaster preparedness, physical activity, and increased outdoor play opportunities.
The interior design incorporates theme colors from the region, wood elements for humidity control, and solid wood flooring for comfort. Integrated furniture design aims to create a unified space for a comfortable living environment.
The U-shaped, wide, exterior-facing floor plan with large openings allows natural light and wind to fully penetrate the rooms, creating a sustainable architecture. A swimming pool on the terrace connects inside and outside, promoting play and cooling the building naturally.
