Kinari Kindergarten and Nursery / Shizuoka, Japan
Architecture and Building Design Category: Silver Award
The concept of this kindergarten and nursery is Enshu Fabric, a traditional fabric in Hamamatsu, so that the good connection between children and the local community will be made by installing local elements respecting the local history and culture. The shape and color of every exterior and interior come from this. Even “Kinari” is named for this concept, whose meaning is “Ecru” in English. Then, children can live a safe and happy life with such a good connection with the local community.
