Kindergarten Blumentálska

The building is located in the village of Bratislava - Old Town, on Blumentálska Street. The structure itself is given, and its massing remains unchanged, as only the partial functional use of the building's interior and the arrangement of openings on the facade are being altered. The spaces will be owned and operated by the Old Town Municipality.

The investment intention is to change the purpose of the existing library spaces to nursery school premises. The building structures will be adapted accordingly within the layout of the premises. Also included in the construction is a newly designed playground area located adjacent to the building's facade. The playground area will be bordered by a raised embankment as well as a protective element made of stainless steel mesh.

The entrance to the nursery school will be relocated from the building's facade to the northeast facade of the building, allowing for the creation of space for the playground in the front part of the building. This will also separate the entrance from the parking in front of the building and eliminate the need to overcome significant elevation through a staircase. The entrance will thus be barrier-free and accessible to all without distinction. Adjacent to the entrance doors will be a space for changing shoes and clothes, as well as a waiting area for parents with the option to store strollers. Changing rooms at the entrance will be in the form of lockers and benches for seating. The kitchen - meal heater will also be separately accessible from the hallway.

The architectural solution stems from the investor's requirement to create two separate classrooms for preschoolers. Both classrooms will be on one level and separated by a playroom / dining room. The design of the classrooms will reflect the preschool age, and the social facilities, as well as meal heating, will be adapted accordingly.
