Kita Haldenstraße, Schorndorf

The Stuttgart-based office (se)arch has already realised numerous educational buildings, including the six-group Haldenstraße daycare centre in Schorndorf near Stuttgart, which was completed in 2020. Located in a residential area next to a park, the daycare centre was built in solid wood in just ten months. In the centre of the building, two-storey multifunctional rooms offer orientation and plenty of space for playing and mutual exchange. A friendly brightness is created here by skylights. The visible wooden surfaces inside create a warm room atmosphere and are repeatedly provided with window openings at a low level for the children, so that views are possible for all ages.

Grass green is the chosen linoleum floor from Forbo Flooring. This continues the playground inside. The fresh green named young grass of Forbo Marmoleum Piano runs through all the corridors and common rooms, highlighting the naturalness of the light-coloured wall and ceiling coverings. The linoleum floor promotes structure in the room, whether next to the restrained kitchen furnishings or in the hallway, where the furniture, coordinated with the colour scheme of the floor and in a muted shade of green, creates a harmonious environment. In addition, the chosen linoleum floor from Forbo stands for CO₂-neutral production, sustainable interior design and thus an ecologically safe choice for educational facilities. The friendly materials in the kindergarten can be experienced and promise a diverse environment for free play and space to grow.
