A typical Valentiny design under the large wave of a shared, green roof – a continuation of the linear geometry of the vineyards – the different functions are grouped in individual building elements. The spaces between them are roofed – and thus form play areas protected from the weather, without any constricting definitions.
A sculpture amidst the vineyards of Luxembourg that takes up and magnifies the motif of the hilly landscape – the building is low at the front, two-storey behind. T he materials: exposed, rough textured concrete (outside), very fine wood surfaces (inside) – a deliberate contrast – and glass. T he form: dynamically rounded/sharp-edged, incised/protruding outwards. T he outdoor space directly around the building and through the building is hardsurfaced (wood), in addition there is a planted garden.
From outside light, air and sun pour through the timber and glass façade; in the depths of the building striking circular protrusions in the roof take on this function. Considerable room heights at places with extra-wide intermediate spaces, views through the building and a complex interlocking of different levels provide the children with a landscape of architectural experiences.
