Prague-based practice Mjölk Architekti designs a nursery extension for a Montessori kindergarten in Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic. For the project, the architecture team embraced the Montessori learning ideals, creating a space for "play and self-determined activity." Projektový atelier David also collaborated on the project.
The Montessori educational approach emphasizes independent learning, exploration, and creativity. The kindergarten features open and flexible spaces that allow children to move freely and engage in self-directed activities. Mjölk Architekti and its collaborators embraced a bright color palette—yellow, for example—and positioned it on an industrial-style backdrop.
The Montessori kindergarten is located in a residential area and aims to provide a nurturing and inspiring environment for young children. The building's design incorporates natural materials, such as wood and clay, to create a warm and organic atmosphere.
