The design is based on the idea of creating a triumvirate of childcare and children’s educational facilities in this leafy oasis, consisting of the new building, the existing building, and the primary school planned in future. The aim is to preserve the buildings – the primary school, kindergarten (already exists), and nursery school (new building) – as independent volumes. A spacious playground remains between these stand-alone buildings, providing the necessary space for the children and their development.

For the new building, this means creating and not taking up space! The beautiful, terraced, park-like grounds alone support the idea of letting the children keep this attractive open-air area in future too. The new building will therefore be designed as a modest solitary structure of minimal volume and positioned in the north-eastern section of the site. On the one hand, this will allow the shortest possible access, while also creating a protected, small, contiguous outdoor area towards the south – flanked by the listed old building and the new building – that respects the qualities of the local conditions. In addition, the south-east façade of the existing building will still be fully visible. Old and new exist happily alongside each other without any rivalry.
