A daycare center with exemplary character.
Located within a historic landmark ensemble and a protected drinking water zone, a new after-school care facility was built in timber construction for the Oberlinhaus association while daycare operations continued uninterrupted. The approximately 900-square-meter building opens up new perspectives for 95 children with and without disabilities through its numerous floor-to-ceiling windows.
Children enjoy views of neighboring historic buildings, meadows and fields, the new adventure playground, or feel as if they are in a treehouse as their gaze extends deep into the canopy of the mature trees.
Learning through all the senses.
Across two floors, children play and learn in a modern, light-filled environment. In addition to a full-service kitchen providing freshly prepared meals every day, the daycare center offers dedicated spaces for sports, media education, music, and even a discovery lab for scientific experiments and exploration.
Children can harvest fruit and vegetables in the garden and help incorporate them into the meals prepared in the daycare kitchen, fostering an understanding of healthy nutrition.
We and the children are very happy with the result. Together with Vollack, we developed and realized a environment for learning and play that truly inspires us.
