"One of the striking features of this kindergarten is the spatial integration of an old footpath into the building. This enabled the historic pattern of routes to be retained and also provided access to the complex from two sides. The old path, in the form of a glazed passageway, leads through the building, dividing it into two parts: a compact structure at one end, in which the ancillary spaces are accommodated; and an elongated tract containing the main kindergarten facilities and group rooms, all of which are oriented to the south. This tract is constructed of prefabricated box-section elements. The three units that form the group rooms open on to the garden. Internally, these spaces are articulated into two realms. In the lower-height areas with galleries, the children can withdraw from general activities or occupy themselves in smaller groups, while still remaining in visual contact with the others. The main areas, roughly 4.20 m high, are suited to playing and other activities that require more space. The walls, ceilings and furnishings are in homogeneous, warm wood tones, with areas of pale birch veneer and plywood cladding. From all points in these spaces, the children enjoy a clear view of the garden outside.
