EcoKid kindergarten, or EcoKindi, is designed for 750 children. The task of the architects was to make it visually and tactilely diverse, arousing interest and different reactions to the environment.
The combination of different materials and colors, a rainforest patch in the center of the complex, various playgrounds, Y-shaped bridges and spectacular surroundings - the shores of Lake Goong serve this purpose. This creates a learning space - an alternative to the traditional classroom with a teacher at the blackboard.

Three white buildings with a semicircular plan face inward with terraces and glazing surfaces, although the most interesting thing about them is the rest of the facades, where round window openings with bright multi-colored "frames" are scattered on a white background. In the interior, the flowing space is emphasized by wood and plastic profiles on the ceiling and walls, patterns and pieces of furniture.
The architects believe that children should be taught to be good at design from a very early age, as it affects their perception of the world - and this is the "exemplary" environment they tried to create in EcoKid kindergarten.
