Nursery School Extension

This residential nursery school extension provides space for an additional group of children in an independent structure. The low-energy building is in a highly insulated prefabricated timber frame construction. The individual elements – one for each of the narrow ends, two for each of the long faces – were assembled on a concrete base and are subdivided by posts (at 1.26 m centres) and rails. The load-bearing structure is exposed internally. Externally, it is legible in the form of the vertical aluminium cover strips. The shallow-pitched roof seems to hover above the walls as a result of the recessed clerestory strip beneath the eaves. The extension and the existing building are linked by a flat-roofed tract containing the new entrance.
