RECONSTRUCTION OF KINDERGARTEN KUSTOŠIJA IN ZAGREB
2022.-2024 conceptual and main project
Client: Grad Zagreb
Area: 793 m2
The project for the reconstruction and repurposing of the existing building of the Gajnice Neighborhood Board into Kindergarten Kustošija has been developed in response to the community’s demands for additional space dedicated to the care and education of children. The kindergarten has a capacity for 40 children organized into two groups for the ages 3 to 6 years.
The building is a single-story structure with a multi-shaped roof, and the entrance is positioned on the eastern side next to the existing parking area. The internal layout includes supportive spaces such as a kitchen and an office for professional services.
The project also emphasizes the flexibility of space, as the children’s rooms are separated by movable sliding walls that allow for the connection of these areas into one multifunctional space. Kindergarten Kustošija is becoming an important center in the community, providing a safe and inspiring environment that encourages play, creativity, and joyful learning.
