Text description provided by architects. The design of the Savanne nursery is based on the desire to create optimal spaces for children’s development in a small and home-like environment. The design is similar to an idealized Danish house with a pitched roof, windows and a door imagined by a child and defines a structure that is much less institutional. Further decluttering was achieved by dividing the building into smaller units, resulting in a clustered structure for a variety of recreation and sports areas. Small units provide overview and structure – a safe and manageable environment for all children, especially emotionally sensitive children.
The design and materials have been selected to reduce the carbon footprint of the project and give the nursery a green, sustainable profile. The implementation of integrated sustainable solutions is based on a holistic approach to architecture. We believe that good architecture is about working in a visionary and responsible way – always based on context and strong local anchoring.
Details and materials are always carefully selected to ensure they stand the test of time. The sustainable, sustainable and local wood in the Savannan nursery demands minimal maintenance and creates a warm, friendly and tactile experience for children. Each building has a different panelling, giving each space a unique identity.
The name, Savanne (“Savannah”) is inspired by the reference to the open farmland at the edge of the village, skibbyThe outdoor space becomes a seamless extension of the interior, encouraging children to get out in the fresh air. The playground is designed for both play, contemplation and learning, and the spaces are divided into different areas according to context. The terraces closest to the building – and the spaces between the cluster sections – are safe and homey.
The further away from the building, the more thrilling the game becomes. The landscape here is wild – like an open plain or a savannah – and there is room to hide, to be invisible. A fence separates the site from the forest, although unlike it, the structure of the fence is almost invisible, the trees become the natural perimeter of the site.
