Elmegården, a winning competition proposal for the expansion of a kindergarten with a focus on good indoor comfort and connection with nature in Favrskov municipality.
Our proposal for the extension of the kindergarten is based on good indoor comfort and connection with nature.
Two prefabricated timber modules have been used for the group rooms, while a non-modular volume is used to form the common room and to connect with the existing spaces.
From the windows of varying height and size, both children and adults can have close contact with nature outside.
The location and design of the extension provide many good outdoor play corners which invite both large and small playgroups to easily find just the right place to play.
a life cycle
approach
Farvskov municipality’s ambition is to become climate neutral by 2050 and a CO2 reduction of 70% by 2030.
In Elmegården, the good words are translated into practice by using a holistic and life-cycle-based approach to the project. The two main strategies involved in the design are to extend the life of the building and reduce its CO2 emissions by using modular timber solutions.
All phases of the building’s lifespan are therefore involved in the design process.
