The eleven houses are slightly offset from each other to divide the program of the kindergarten. From the outside the offsets of the façades divide the kindergarten into smaller outdoor areas and play zones while allowing daylight to enter the building. Within the building, various size and types of rooms are created for the occupants as a result of the offset.
The kindergarten consist of two to three floors with group rooms that have individual access to the outdoor space on each floor. The kindergarten is named after the street it currently located on, where apartment buildings, villas and small gardens meet. The new kindergarten adapts to the different scales of the local community and reflects the neighboring pitched roofs that range in different heights and pitches.
