Recently, we have been happy to collaborate with landscape architects from the In-Site studio. They approach us to design outdoor classrooms in the gardens of kindergartens that are being created under their guidance.
This outdoor classroom builds on a charming "insect" concept, which has become the theme of the kindergarten garden itself. Its design somewhat refers to the now-popular insect hotels. The typical division into individual sections with various fillings, where insects of all kinds can hide, is particularly reminiscent of the side facades of the gazebo. In our case, these fillings serve different functions: in one section there are storage boxes, in another chalkboard paint, and in another play elements. The circular openings in the front facade resemble the holes that are characteristic of the activities of insects. So there are many parallels, only instead of insects, children are swarming here!
