Komaoka Genkids Nursery School / Tomoyuki Kurokawa Architects

A nursery school with a capacity of 60 children is located in a suburban residential area in Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama City. The planned site area is located in a region designated by Yokohama City as a “priority development area” due to the high demand for nursery schools. However, in densely populated residential areas, there are few opportunities to have a site large enough for a nursery school. For this site as well, the area designated for the playground was kept to a minimum by satisfying the relaxation requirements. Thus, the plan was approved.
