The subject of this bachelor's thesis is the project design of a new kindergarten in the village of Bochoř. The documentation is prepared at the level of a building permit and follows up on an architectural study created within the course BGA021 – Architectural Design Studio 2. The aim of the work is to demonstrate the ability to provide a complex technical solution for the building in accordance with the architectural intent.
The facility is designed as a detached, single-story, and non-basement building for the needs of public amenities. The building is situated on a flat municipal plot, which is currently undeveloped. The capacity of the kindergarten is set for two classes for a total of 56 children, while the operation is complemented by the necessary administrative and technical facilities.
The architectural concept lies in working with an elementary, compact cuboid mass, which is shaped by the gradual subtraction of partial sections based on operational needs. This process creates protected leeward areas at the entrances and deep outdoor terraces within a single whole, which connect the indoor playrooms with the exterior.
Structurally, it is a masonry building made of Ytong blocks with a ceiling made of prestressed Spiroll panels. The material solution underlines the concept – the living areas for children are hidden behind Thermowood wooden cladding, while the service wing remains in white plaster.
The main objective of the design is to create a clear and safe space that provides children with a sense of protection, yet remains maximally open toward nature through large-format glazing. The layout is centered around a raised central hall with basilical lighting, which serves as the heart of the building and clearly defines the interface between the children's wing and the administrative facilities.
The complex is designed as fully barrier-free and energy-efficient in the NZEB standard. The use of a heat pump, forced ventilation with heat recovery, photovoltaic panels, and an extensive green roof contributes to energy sustainability, while also improving the microclimate and aiding in rainwater retention.
