The proposal places the elderly day care centre and its garden on an artificial level on top of the kindergarten. This gesture multiplies the open green spaces of the plot. A circular hole on this artificial level allows for controlled communication and access between elderly and kids. The proposal’s public space is composed by a square park, a small entrance square and a pedestrian road enclosing the totality of the program. On the aesthetic level the project is a fusion of the archetypical house and the wooden abstract Bauhaus toys. Various gardens and trees unite all ages in a stimulating and activity provoking environment.
