The plot for the new municipal nursery school
of Moncada is located at the north of the town centre, in a newly developed
area surrounded mainly by residential buildings. It has a surface area of 1 346
square meters, with a rectangular geometry and a slight inclination to the
south.
The building caters for eight classrooms with
their own bathroom, one multifunctional classroom, a dining room, a kitchen, secretary
room, a teachers room, auxiliary rooms and playgrounds.
The initial idea is to project the building as
a small house surrounding a small courtyard, where all the rooms face the
courtyard, avoiding the external traffic noise around the building. The
courtyard should be perceived as a continuation of the interior spaces and
rooms, enhancing the connection between inside and outside.
The distribution is organized by two main
lineal axles’ forming the passage ways. The north-south axis connects the main
spaces of the building: entrance, secretary, administration area,
multifunctional space, dinning room, kitchen, classrooms and two big
courtyards; the east-west axis connects the classrooms.
In the northern part of the building we will
find the teachers area, with bathrooms for the employees and a teachers room,
connected to a small rest room for the smallest children. This space is south
facing, alongside the biggest courtyard, the north one.
The entrance can be found in the west façade,
along a pedestrian road, with a fall back of the initial line of edification
leaving room for a covered outside area. Linked to the hallway is the
secretary’s office, the north courtyard and the multifunctional classroom.
The east –west axis organizes the classrooms on
both sides: four of them facing the north courtyard and four of them facing the
south one. The classrooms are
inter-connected, allowing easier and faster communication.
The two playgrounds (courtyards north and
south) are connected by an external half-covered passage way, parallel to the
east façade of the building which has a second entrance to the building, so
families can pick up their children directly from the courtyards.
The playgrounds are protected from the sun by
canopies that completely cover the outside areas. The outer class rooms are
protected with wooden raising shutters.
The external image of the building conveys an
accurate reflection of the interior spaces. The external coating of the
building is white mortar cement and a grey natural stone is used for the
skirting board. The fence is made of vertical steel props covered with IROKO
wood.
