Sustainability
The simple, minimalist building is made of glass and wood and
comprises a nursery in one wing and a section for children aged 3-6
in the other wing. In-between the two wings, the human resources
department is situated connecting the two age groups and wings.
Facing the playground, a so-called climate zone has been
established - an unheated supplementary area that follows the
changing seasons in terms of heating making it possible for the
children to play "outside" without wearing gloves in the
winter.
In the climate zone, a plant and herb bed for the
children aged 3-6 and large flowerpots for the nursery have been
planted.
The climate zone functions as a sun protection and as a
supplement to the preheating and heating of the wings.
The objective of the building design is to provide each child
with the opportunity to express itself just as each child should
feel part of the community. The large, open and flexible units
encourage activity and community while the more quiet zones give
the children the opportunity to withdraw - alone or in small
groups. Along the corridors, the children can take a break in the
small niches furnished with mattresses and cosy reading lights.
