English description provided by the architects.
Children's dreams, built sustainably - The new kindergarten and daycare centre in Kiens/Chienes has replaced the previous building and now offers space for two separate groups and daycare for up to 20 children.
Roland Baldi Architects designed the two-storey timber building with a clear design language and well-thought-out room layout:
Light-flooded group rooms and various studios open onto the garden, creating a welcoming environment for learning and playing.
The children's canteen serves as a central catering location for the kindergarten children as well as the students at the neighbouring primary school.
The reddish-brown wooden façade, inspired by the nearby church tower, blends harmoniously into the townscape.
A zigzag ramp ensures step-free access to the upper floor and acts as a connection to the upper half of the village.
With a focus on sustainability, the kindergarten meets the Klimahaus/ CasaClima A standard and uses modern technologies such as an air-to-water heat pump and photovoltaic modules on the green roof.
The result is a dream building for children, where the little ones can explore, learn, and play in safety.
