Climate impact has been the governing factor in the design of this project. All design decisions have been assessed in terms of environmental impact, and conversely, we have solved environmental challenges with clever design. The preschool consists of eight departments, with space for 144 children, covering an area of 1,800 sqm.

One important decision in reducing the carbon footprint was to choose a Koljern foundation, which consists of 60-70% recycled glass. Solid timber has been selected for almost all building components. Walls, ceiling, and joists consist of cross-laminated timber and studs. The façades are clad in natural wood and floors are planned to be made from cork and end-grain wood blocks. Most of the interiors will have a timber surface finish. In addition to the low climate impact of wood, it helps to create a warm and welcoming environment.
