This single-story, 11,840 ft² nursery school accommodates up to 70 children. The building property is also surrounded by playgrounds and other green spaces.
The school building addition in Sutz-Lattrigen was built on the existing foundation floor. This foundation was not designed to withstand a second story. Therefore, the loads from the first floor and the additional second story had to be designed as concentrated loads. In order to reduce the weight but also for educational and sustainability reasons, timber was used in the construction of the new building.
The modular structure of the school will only remain at the present location for eight years. After this period, 36 timber modules, including the screw foundations, will be removed entirely and reconstructed at another location. Therefore, a completely new configuration of the floors and the ground plan design will be possible. The simple yet functional structure includes the architectural highlight of a front-facing flight of stairs constructed with timber truss girders.
