Daycare Centre Hegge | Waltenhofen

2nd Prize | In collaboration with Benkert Schäfer

The daycare centre redefines the village centre and creates a common village square. Tree positions divide the new village centre into different areas of use. The daycare centre opens up as a house for children and offers space for communal uses in the community. The green open space of the daycare centre blends into the existing village structure. The preservation of valuable existing trees ensures that the outdoor facilities are shaded and creates a natural atmosphere. The terrain will be carefully modelled to create a varied play landscape. Targeted planting provides additional structure to the outdoor space and divides it into day nursery and crèche areas. Terrace-like open spaces create flowing transitions between indoor and outdoor areas. This creates a well thought-out combination of nature, play and community, which optimally supports the educational use of the outdoor space.
