About JNGL By Progress Kids Center

JNGL By Progress is a kids centre located within an office space in Sofia, Bulgaria. The 800 square metre interior is designed for children from two to twelve years old, with areas to play, learn, draw and perform. A jungle theme guides the layout, and zones are named Crocodile Bay, Monkey Island and Under the Starry Sky. Movable walls and movable furniture allow the areas to be divided or joined for daily activities. Large glazed walls keep the interior open and let natural light pass through. Several interactive elements can be rearranged by the children.

Production Technology: Space is flexible and all spaces can be divided or joined by the use of movable walls, and entirely movable furniture that children can interact with. Transparency is kept with large glazed walls to let the natural light flow through space.
Design Challenge: The overall theme was developed around the Jungle. Different areas were designed in terms of decorations to match their function and activities happening inside. We used areas such as Monkey Island (arts atelier), Crocodile Bay ( for small children) , Under the Stary skies (for the Library), etc.
Project Duration: started: December 2017
finalised: June 2018
location: Sofia - Bulgaria
Operation Flow: We integrated of interactive elements that children can change, build-up, reconstruct and rearrange. For example, we integrated into one of the decorations an animal that children can change its faces - thus by the mere act of play to learn about different emotions.
Research: We made a deep research on what are the interests of children in different age groups and made a child-safety environment. Our main goal was to create a space that will appeal to kids from 2 to 12 years old and that serves with its flexibility as a background for the various activities that happen every day there.
Inspiration: The main theme of the space was JUNGLE. All different areas are named after different zones in the JUNGLE (e.g Crocodile Bay, Monkey Island, Under the Starry sky) and the overall theme is introduced and developed by the incorporation of friendly graphics and furniture in the space.
