FK Kindergarten and Nursery / HIBINOSEKKEI + Youji no Shiro + Kids Design Labo

This kindergarten is in the northern part of Japan, namely Fukahori Town of Nagasaki prefecture, a coastal town with a long history of fishing and shipbuilding. Its trace of history still lingers in the streets. The region is full of slopes, and houses are built tightly along roads. These attributes shape the quaint atmosphere of the narrow alleyways. This project intends to bring the way Fukahori has co-existed with the land into the daily lives of children.
