being the architects of a children’s school is a great challenge.
to the southwest of Callosa de Segura is the “La Monsina” urbanization. It is a low-density residential neighborhood, located as an island in an orchard environment that forms a characteristic landscape of the Vega Baja del Segura.
the plot on which the project is developed has a very unique geometry and is occupied in its center by a circular building that houses the early childhood education program of the “La Monsina” educational center.
the program of the new building, designed by Balzar Arquitectos, seeks to expand the facilities to accommodate primary education teaching. It contemplates the creation of ten classrooms located below ground level, a gym with changing rooms on the ground floor, a multipurpose room and a library on the first floor.
for the lighting of the spaces located underground, the school’s architects have arranged some English patios that provide the classrooms with great lighting on the one hand and, on the other, give them great privacy.
the new building has a compact, efficient shape, and is located at the eastern end of the plot, configuring a garden as a meeting point between the two buildings. This idea reveals our willingness to think not only about what is built but also about the void that is generated.
