Rudolf Sophien Stift Forest Daycare Centre
The two-storey timber-frame building is integrated into the wooded surroundings in a terraced arrangement. Located on the grounds of the Rudolf Sophien Stift, the building consists of two rectangular volumes, with the circulation area positioned at their intersection.
Thanks to the building’s hillside location and its integration into the natural woodland setting, all areas of the daycare centre have level access to the outdoor play spaces. The façade is clad in panels in various shades of red and orange. The projecting roof edge creates covered outdoor areas.
The daycare centre accommodates 40 children in three primary groups:
- 20 places for children aged 3–6;
- 20 places for children aged 1–3.
Four places are reserved for children with special developmental needs.
