Oliver Kindergarten
The site is situated in a typically Spanish, present-day urban expansion, surrounded by uniform eight-storey residential buildings. The small-scale intervention is dominated by a green sloping roof which relates to the topography of the adjacent park. In contrast to the neighbouring buildings, it orientates itself by the dynamic of the direct surrounding. The concept is built up on two focus points. On one hand, there is the crucial connection to the landscape which does not only give the building its character but also strengthens the area interactively. On the other hand, it concentrates on its function as a place for children and provides an individual approach for the different age groups and their special needs. Consequently a variety of volumes are combined underneath a multiple-folded roof wherein spaces offer response to different usage. There are wide open areas used for festivities and fairs as well as bespoke low areas specifically for the toddlers.
