An active and creative family of four needed a space for living as well as gardening and hobbies. As the project was commissioned with a keen interest on energy efficiency, there are specific details for breaking thermal bridges and maximising the solar intake.

Three of the most important aspects in designing for early childhood education are safety, comfort and a close relationship with nature. We have achieved all of these aspects through the extensive use of natural materials, generous glazing, interior soundproofing and insulation.

I tried to design spaces that are adapted for little people, with pleasant acoustics and a barrier free relationship with the exterior. That is why the ground common rooms have floor to ceiling windows, so that nobody feels captive, but can enjoy the passing of the seasons.
