Areni village is one of the most interesting areas in Armenia with its famous type of grapes and St. Astvatsatsin Church, as well as natural and cultural life (landscape). The planned kindergarten is located in the central part of the village, at the marginal part of the area to be constructed, at the end of a series of residential houses. The goal of our approach is not only to integrate the kindergarten into the wonderful biography of Areni, but also to make it a logical continuation of the residential houses. The hall of the kindergarten will serve as a community cultural center. The adjacent community park will also contribute to the kindergarten being considered as a community gathering place.
