Additional Info

Award Winner : Kan-Bud

Architectural Excellence : A permanent modular nursery facility of 120 sq. m. situated in Bucz, in the region of Greater Poland was designed and set as an extension to an existing kindergarten. The exterior of the prefab building features modern colors making it a pleasant education area for children. The fully-equipped complex consisting of 7 steel frame modules in combined configurations was designed as an alternative solution to a similar traditional masonry building combining classroom spatial functions, including high standard sanitary and utility rooms for more than 25 children. Essentially, the project was elaborated in order to eliminate all architectural barriers making it accessible for the disabled. The whole complex is covered with additional exterior wooden siding combined with aesthetic steel, which conceals the rigid looking containers and adds an integral modern kindergarten look. The building was incorporated in the surroundings of trees which had been maintained to provide greenery.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The provided project is ultimately factory completed with all system testing and sign-off. Apart from lower costs in comparison to traditional construction and high insulation parameters, the complex was designed to be energy saving, mainly due to high quality materials applied. In order to both increase cost effectiveness and improve learning conditions, rapid connection and running process of the unit at site is reduced to minimum. The roofing was designed for a quick drop and connection on site, the spacious rooms provide excellent lighting. To save on resources, the facilities are ready to be deployed after set-up and connection of the mechanical and electrical installation within plug and play design. The building is covered with a wind-proof steel roof. Furthermore, the units are of standard dimension for European heavy truck transport, hence the transport period is shortened. Mechanical, plumbing and electric fixtures are chosen for their low volume and energy use abilities.
