Each of the nest boxes designed by se\arch is moulded to the ground using tectonic design elements such as ramps and steps. The building has both exterior and interior wood finishes.
Description of project by se\arch
The daycare is located directly on the edge of the forest and is oriented towards the outdoor play area in nature. The entrance area is facing the street and the garden exits via a covered front area. A porch leads to the central play hall, which also connects all the rooms. Rectangular wooden boxes, interlocked at an angle of 45 ° with each other, form the basic and supporting structure of the building. The zones between the wooden boxes provide space for three nurseries, the entrance area and the dining area. All group rooms have covered outdoor areas with direct access from inside.
Each of the three nest rooms occupy its own height level within the building. Thus, following the terrain, the natural zoning of the central game hall succeeds, using tectonic design elements such as ramps and seating steps. The roof follows this movement as in the interior space as well as outside, which is readable along the edge of the roof.
The building, which is completely made of wood, is prefabricated out of gray larch wood in the exterior and natural solid wood walls in the interior. Acoustic ceilings made of wood was used in the game hall continuing to the covered outdoor areas.
For planning, approval and realization a period of 24 months is available.
