A building of open spaces and playful design. A tribute to the light and color. A pleasure for its new tenants, they are a total of 102 children under 3 years from this new course, live and enjoy the new nursery Albolote El Chaparral, near Granada, by the architect Alejandro Muñoz Miranda. Its most distinctive feature: the sheets of colored glass of all windows, which recreate unusual and evocative light effects and games. The building, which is integrated into the traditional architecture of the Chaparral and has 950 m2 of surface, has seven classrooms, multipurpose rooms, kitchen, dining room, seating areas and an outdoor play area and a porch. “The building is open space working with the idea that all levels can be pushed together to make common activities” says the architect. Natural light is the main character of the building, with its interior garden and covered patio, which connects all kinds through a porch.
But, as evidenced by the pictures, the most important of the atmosphere of this place comes from the hand of light. The facade has been resolved with a phased composition of volumes, where the white walls alternating with sheets of glass of different colors. This solution externalized identity recreational and educational equipment and dyed colors indoors. In the classroom, however, these cracks of light are drawn with clear glass. And from the outside as well, the color of the windows contributes to highlight the ways the building, all white, so typical of Andalucia.
