CARISOLO NURSERY

Trasformazione di una sala polivalente in nido atto ad accogliere 15 bambini. Il progetto intende essere il meno invasivo possibile sulla struttura esistente in modo da permettere la completa reversibilità dell’intervento quando il servizio sarà trasferito nella sede definitiva.

A ‘hybrid’ solution was therefore adopted, allowing for the acoustic and visual separation of certain functions (reception, service areas, adult areas) that would otherwise interfere excessively with the children’s activities, whilst at the same time preserving the spatial dimensions of the large loft. This partition is achieved by installing a non-load-bearing ‘sandwich’ ceiling made of plasterboard and polyester fibre at a height of 2.50 m, designed to create a buffer zone near the entrance, whilst the remaining open space will house the areas intended for the children, namely the two main rooms and the sleeping area.

The main space consists of a hall measuring approximately 100 m² with an exposed roof and a ceiling height varying between 3.15 and 5.20 m. The roof structure is highly irregular due to the presence of trusses and dormer windows, and this makes it more difficult to divide the space into separate rooms, as requested by the Pre-school Service of the Province of Trento, which oversaw the early stages of the project.

These latter areas will be visually separated using fixed play furniture made of coloured MDF, 1.25 m high, and a curtain which, if necessary, will partially screen off the rest area.
