The compact structure of the mainly one-storied-high nursery school is situated in the northern corner of the site where a second storey is added in order to correspond with the surrounding building heights and to provide a roofed and weather-proof entrance area. A parking site located in the same spot is conceived with a front court character. At the same time it pervades the foyer and extends into the garden in form of a fortified and roofed playground. Starting from the foyer, the main axis crosses the whole building. Class rooms and recreation rooms are arranged along this axis (on both sides). Furthermore, the axis serves as a connection way and as space for cloak rooms. The adjacent lounges which can flexibly be opened or closed make the corridor lively and habitable. The class rooms are equally south-east orientated. Due to wall-sized windows they seem to be situated in the middle of the garden area.
