Kostelní Nursery School
Czech RepublicCompany Name: Černý a Černý – Sádrokartony, spol. s r.o.
Project description
The Kostelní Nursery School has been designed using soft round shapes and bright colours to create a child-friendly, warm, welcoming environment. The new pavilion of the nursery school building was designed in this way so that children would look forward to playing there. That is why the architect decided to use curved shapes and a vibrant palette. On the other hand, achieving this aesthetic combined with the standard fire-safety and acoustic requirements, demanded the highest level of skill and professionalism from the dry-wall installer team. There were some basic characteristics that had to be considered for the nursery school project; high durability, good ambient acoustics, a surface finish suitable for bright colours and fire safety. The rounded shapes (favoured by the architect) and namely the intersections of the shaped surfaces were the installer’s real ‘nut to be cracked’. This, combined with the aforementioned characteristics, posed the real challenge for the implementation team. The installer also faced the challenge to prepare the supporting structure for the rounded wall and wave-like roof. Then came the “traditional“ dry-lining of the shaped wall and ceilings- here the Glasroc F Riflex boards were the logical choice. Of course the high requirements for durability and surface preparation had to be considered and fulfilled.
