"BOS Arquitectes completes a 745-square-meter nursery school in Muro, Mallorca, between the town's edge and open agricultural fields. Set on elevated ground, the building overlooks familiar landmarks, which include the Marés stone windmill, the football field stands, and the skyline punctuated by the Church of Sant Joan Baptista and the Convent of Santa Anna. The single-story structure settles into the landscape through a sequence of low-rise vaults that trace a continuous, undulating roofline along the horizon."
"The nursery organizes its compact volume to reduce energy demand while structuring the daily life of children aged 0 to 3. The access facade defines a small public square, mediating between the school and the town. On the opposite sides, the building encloses south-facing classroom patios, a shared patio to the east, and a service strip along the northern edge."
Located on elevated ground at the edge of Muro, Mallorca, the 745-square-meter nursery overlooks local landmarks and agricultural fields. A continuous sequence of low-rise vaults forms an undulating ceramic-tiled roof finished in a yellow-ochre glaze that harmonizes with sand-colored marés stone and clay tiles. The single-story plan is compact to reduce energy demand and supports children aged 0 to 3. An access façade frames a small public square toward the town, while south-facing classroom patios, an eastern shared patio, and a northern service strip organize the plan. A central courtyard provides daylight and cross ventilation, remains fully visible for supervision, and integrates planted areas and porches for solar control; large south openings and smaller high north apertures reinforce airflow both in plan and section.
