Es Ferreret Nursery
Children's school
Capdepera, Mallorca
This project addresses the needs of a preschool within the established fabric of the city center. Faced with the challenge of integrating a large-scale structure into a heterogeneous residential setting —a project commissioned by the Capdepera City Council—the decision was made to design a fragmented complex. This fragmentation of the building’s mass adapts its scale to the urban environment, reducing its visual impact and creating a rich sequence of intermediate spaces, courtyards, and pathways that enrich the children’s experience. The courtyards act as natural extensions of the classroom, fostering free play and intuitive learning within an approachable, home-like architectural setting. The relationship between interior and exterior becomes the key to the design, creating a welcoming, safe, and bright environment that stimulates children’s curiosity and invites them to spontaneously explore and discover their surroundings.
