Kindergarten Tangstedt

An existing kindergarten in a village should be expanded. The building is part of a group of institutions that form the center of village life: a primary school, a children's home, the fire department, the building yard, a sports hall and the mayor's office. The kindergarten has already been expanded once, and a concept has now been drawn up for further, phased expansions. The first of these phases has been implemented. Based on the property conditions and after extensive exchange with the users, a building was created for two groups, which are grouped around a central supply core. This central area is higher than the surrounding rooms to allow natural lighting and ventilation.
The building stands out from the existing building in its design and choice of materials. The location on the edge of the town allows for a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape and the design of the outdoor area. This exceptional natural location is reflected in the organic shape of the building and the wooden facade. The geometry also allows for further expansions in a similar form on the narrow and very long site. A red façade design designed as a continuous band at the edge of the roof integrates into the brick-dominated surroundings and at the same time creates a new accent.
The foundation with a surrounding base and the central area is made of solid construction, which is advantageous in terms of fire protection requirements and structural wood protection. The outer walls and facade cladding are constructed and prefabricated using wood, and the load-bearing structure is visible inside and out. The acoustic ceiling is made of wood wool, and the floor covering is made of linoleum. Extensive green roofs have been integrated as well as an air heat pump to supply the underfloor heating. The new children's lounges are connected to the existing building via a play corridor. The furniture in the cloakrooms and changing tables have been adapted and integrated into the building geometry.
