Neubau Doppelkindergarten Zelgli

Neubau Doppelkindergarten Zelgli

Description

The new kindergarten for two groups is situated on the outskirts of the village, where its distinct geometry sets it apart. Nevertheless, it refers to the neighbouring buildings with its three serial gabled roofs. As the whole kindergarten is based on an equal sided triangle, it offers versatile uses of space. The exterior façade is accentuated by its indigo blue glazed tiles, which change the appearance of the building during the course of the day with the changing light.


Statement of the jury

This new building’s three gable roofs reference the architecture of the surroundings. Large windows admit a considerable amount of natural light into the interior of the space, while the building’s design aesthetic and its striking indigo blue façade make this kindergarten highly recognizable.
