This project takes particular interested in the spaces of a child, who is an extremely sensitive user and does not perceive the space in the same way as an adult does, not just in size but also by its own logic under construction.

The project contains three sections organized in the same manner to provide the child with a stable environment in time and space. Each section addresses five types of activities: reception, care, play (indoor and outdoor), meals and rest. These activities define sub-areas observable by an adult at all points in order to maintain constant supervision of children.

The program was crystallized in a very energy-efficient project and the building takes a very compact form. The project is oriented north-south and east-west. The northern face containing the technical parts and circulations, the southern part is protected from overheating being relatively closed, and the nursery therefore opens mainly east and west. Both sides offer the softest and most suitable lights and focus on living spaces such as activity rooms and administrative offices.

The nursery is located on the fringe of a strong landscape structure, careers, and the city of Lessines. These issues are embodied in a building that opens new possibilities … living in the landscape.
