The new building for small children and their families in Bürs fits naturally into the series of public buildings that form an educational and educational and meeting centre for Bürs.
The most important defining aspects are:
1_ the clarity of the entrance favours the reception of users: WELCOME PLACE
2_ the adaptation to the different scales of the neighbourhood, from the monumental scale of the Friedenskirche to the smallest of the detached houses, through a graduated geometry.
3_ the desire to offer children a home with an identity, a place to play and socialise, but also a meeting place for Families. BAUM HAUS, TREE-HOUSE.
The design of the covered outdoor area for children, which is directly connected to the group rooms, is of primary importance. This is an element that is integrated into the building but also functions as part of the garden. As with the tree house, it can be reached from the garden thanks to a staircase located on one of the small hills that characterise the surrounding area. The integral wooden construction contributes to the feeling of being in a tree house. But it also has a climatic function, as it acts as natural sun protection. Of course, the users can enhance this filter function with plants that can cling to the wooden elements or with simple planters, thus blending in even more with nature.
