Designed like a game of cubes, seen from the street, the crèche asserts is playful character by the stacking up and setting of volumes of different materials and colors.
A subtle play between the building and gardens is used to divert the constraints of the town planning regulations for the benefit of the building.
The program is developed like a walking path from the street to the heart of the block, punctuated by a succession of different gardens and living spaces for children.
Thus, the crèche is composed of two elements: the landscape (outside space bringing in light, air, vegetation, water) and the building containing the program.
These two elements overlap and interact to maintain a constant flow between the outside and the inside.
The interiors and gardens are designed at the scale of the child: "what we, adults, perceive as blades of grass, children perceive as the forest floor canopey”.
