About Kaleidoscope Kindergarten

Kaleidoscope is a kindergarten interior designed for twenty-four children within an area of 130 square meters. The design is based on the image of a kaleidoscope, in which light is reflected through mirrors and colored glass. Abstract colored accents are applied to light walls to create a calm and varied interior. A sliding transformable partition divides the group room into play and sleeping zones without reducing the area. Mobile tables and stackable chairs add further flexibility. The finishing materials are environmentally friendly and simple to install.

Project Duration: Concept project. Moscow, Russia, 2021
Operation Flow: A group room is divided into two parts by a transformable partition. A sliding transformable partition allows, without reducing the area, to create independent zones: play and bedroom. For more flexibility, we used mobile tables and stackable chairs. A flexible environment is very important for the development of such personal qualities as independence, the ability to make choices, as well as for the formation of communication skills with peers and adults.
Research: The interior of the new building is similar to a white paper layout. Pure, white space that is impersonal, emotionless. A white room is transformed at the moment when a ray of the sun (at dawn or at sunset) passes through the windows: light and shadow appear, all surfaces are painted with different shades, colors change during the day. But what if you direct light through colored glass onto a white layout? Such effects became the inspiration for creating the interior of the children's educational space.
Inspiration: The design was based on the image of a kaleidoscope, in which light is reflected in mirrors and colored glass from different angles. We added colored abstract highlights to the light walls, thus creating a cozy and varied interior.
