Christian Kindergarten in Horažďovice

We meticulously designed the garden concept down to the last detail. As a result, an island full of play elements emerged, providing Horažďovice with a new space for friendly community gatherings across the generations.

About the Transformation

What we achieved

We chose water as the main unifying theme for the renovated school garden. This element permeates the space through features like water tables and a pump. A mysterious island invites children to engage in unrestrained play and numerous water adventures, stimulating their creativity, imagination, and free movement. To support this, we enriched the garden with simple wooden play elements. The sense of togetherness was further enhanced by adding a fire pit with wooden stools for seating.
