The curved building for a new kindergarten is to be erected as a wooden structure with a formwork of vertical wood panels. The intention of the architects is that the new building is self-consciously integrated into the urban environment.

Especially when building for children, other aspects than usual have to be incorporated into the design process. Who says that a building must inevitably always be designed with the rigid cartesian axes (height / width / depth) as a crate. This is the dynamic structure of the organic building with its curved ground plan for breaking open the rigid geometric shapes.
At the ground plan, much emphasis was placed on clarity and generosity, and at the same time on compactness. The group spaces were arranged in three function blocks.

Function block 1: Crib area

This includes group 1 and group 2, each with its own group room, as well as a common sanitary area and sleeping area.

Function block 2: Mixed age group

Groups 3 and 4, each with its own group room and connected to it, each have their own resting space. Both groups share a common sanitary area.

Function block 3: Open group

This function block is organized as well as fun...
