Daycare center Märchenland Wittenberge 2nd place in competition

The competition entry proposes a modular system that forms individual "playhouses" by adding walls. Each playhouse is given an individual and identity-creating hipped roof, creating a moving roofscape that is reflected in the interior spaces.

The organization of the open spaces is significantly influenced by the existing topography and wooded structure and takes up the theme of the wooded dune landscape. The level and low-lying areas are connected to form an open play valley, which contrasts with the shaded wooded areas due to its sunny character. The valley is bordered by a paved circular path, which is formed as a seating step at the edge of certain play areas, and is connected to the building accesses and terraces. The sandy subsoil allows all rainwater from the roof areas and pathways to be directed to the low points of the topography for infiltration. The infiltration areas thus become densely vegetated green valleys that children can climb over.
