"Dancing" pavilions

The children's centre is situated at the bottom of a valley. The location is characterised by the uneven terrain and surrounding green spaces, which permeate the interior of the clinic. A generous thoroughfare along the valley floor forms the backbone of the entire building complex. Six square pavilions "dance" along it, responding to the different references and alignments of the surrounding buildings in a playful way and incorporating the urban grain.

Transparency and perfect shading

The building envelope features bright colours, creating a positive atmosphere. Large glass areas in the Schüco mullion/transom façade allow daylight to flood the interior, which has a positive impact on the energy balance and ensures an environment that promotes health and well-being. If required, Schüco ZIP awnings can be used to provide the rooms with shade. Large-scale fire doors made of steel, which are extremely sturdy and secure despite their ultra-slimline profiles, provide protection in the event of a fire.
