Located in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Spain, the firm Vaumm architecture office has completed the “Sansaburu Kindergarten and parking” project. The building was settled down on north and west side, as it opens towards the south and the south-east. the most open and furthest direction from the walls, batters and staircases that give shape to the park.

The diagram of arrangement works out in both floors, the entrance from north face of site and from there, the different elements are organized in two arms, hugging the court.


Maximizing the natural sunrays is a great way to reduce the energy consumption. Classrooms are designed to catch the sunrise, within the timetable of the nursery school. Corridors´ and classrooms´natural light is through the windows at ground level, letting to admire the outside.


The internal cladding colours are warm and alive, and they give the nursery school a ludic character, that goes beyond the interior through a random arrangement of spaces in façade and the use of colour in the balcony towards Sansaburu Street and entrances of building.
