The existing daycare center was housed in a decrepit church. ZAmpone chooses to demolish and start with a newbuild.

On the same site there is also a school and a parish hall in the back. The building is a result of an intense cooperation of the landlord and the architect taking into account all the parties on and around the site.

The 6 living areas for the children are placed on the first floor. This creates a compact footprint on the ground level and a maximal (covered) play area for the daycare center.

On the first floor an airy whole benefits from the central skylights and the living area linked terraces.
