FK Kindergarten and Nursery

●Nagasaki

A childcare center that enhances children’s physical development by utilizing the site’s elevation changes

This certified childcare center was newly built in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
By making full use of the sloped terrain commonly seen throughout the city of Nagasaki, the approximately 7-meter elevation difference on the site was integrated into the architectural plan to enhance harmony with the landscape.
By taking advantage of the site’s topography and the local scenery and culture, a rich environment has been created where children can engage with nature and the city, encouraging diverse play and fostering their physical and mental development.
