Los Angeles Kindergarten
Los Angeles del Eden, Satipo, Peru · 2014
Nursery school
The program is developed in a unique compact volume in order to optimize circulations and spaces and the construction costs.
The building, implemented on the southern side of the plot due to the soil resistance, is composed by two classrooms, bathrooms for teachers and students, a small kitchen, and a covered, multi-purpose patio connected by a wide open corridor. To the north is the playground, made of recycled materials.
The construction of the school has been carried out thanks to the work of master builders and the local citizens, while he playground and stairway of tires was completed by generous volunteers and neighbours during a workshop.
