Kindergarten, Extension
Feld72 has expanded a kindergarten in Lagundo, above Merano in South Tyrol, Italy.
The extension of the kindergarten was designed to continue the dialog between flat and pitched roofs of the existing with a two-story gable-roofed building and a two-story flat-roofed structure.
It connects to the northeastern part of the property which was designed by architect Gutweniger Willy in 1976.
The aim of the extension was a holistic ecological construction method from the start, with the annex designed as a glue-free solid wood building w ith a wooden façade and green roofs.
The solid wooden walls create a pleasant indoor climate due to their mass and texture.
Another consideration was the spatial integration of the open learning landscape shared by German and Italian-speaking groups.
The focus of the extension is on the encounter zones, opening up the possibility of togetherness, not only architecturally but also pedagogically.
