The new kindergarten Stenjevec is located on the outskirts of Špansko housing estate, but also on the edge of the urbanized territory of the city of Zagreb. The environment of the kindergarten is a place defined by the atmosphere of the Wim Wenders movies
it is almost a metaphysical space with a bus station and new eight storey high residential buildings located along the fields with a view towards the neon landscape of shopping malls
The concept of building its own context is proposed without direct relation to an existing, already changing state without clear criteria. The architectural composition of the volumes is almost autonomous due to the environment, but at the same time subordinate to the kindergarten program. A small scale is adapted to children, but set up to establish order and structure of space, perhaps more than it seems possible only by the program of the given square footage.
