Kindergarten in S. Tomé e Principe

The design of the proposal seeks not only to respond to a pre-defined program taking into account the complexity of the this type of building, but also aims to provide the best health conditions taking into account the specific climatic conditions and insolation of the site. Based on these assumptions, the volume of the building rises one meter above the ground and will be divided into four blocks that fit together, linked by a corridor that takes the distribution function. The kindergarten program is defined by four blocks, where each has a specific function that can be characterized, respectively, by Administration, Services, Teaching and common use spaces. A key element in the project is the corridor that not only performs the distribution function but also divides the four blocks by function.
