Bøgelunden Daycare

Rather than large common areas, each group has its own living room, which gives the staff a greater overview and the surroundings become more manageable for the children, especially the very young. The 4 +1 living rooms can offer a wider selection of activities in close, safe surroundings and create a greater identity and sense of belonging for the children.

A green play ramp as an active element

The beech grove embraces the green courtyard with its angular shape. In the same way as with Pilelunden, the house's outdoor area is accessible from both the living room and the first floor. Rather than a traditional staircase, the terrain becomes a ramp that functions as an active element. It has a twisted shape that creates play space both on and under the ramp.

With a facade in reddish-brown screen tiles, the materiality of the building strongly refers to the surrounding residential quarter with facades that appear in red bricks.

The windows vary in size, but all start from the fact that they can be included as an active part of the children's play. Some as small peepholes to the outside world, others are large with wide frames, where the children can both play and wave goodbye and hello.

Both of Blovstrød's new day care centers have in common that some of the interior walls can be removed. This makes the houses flexible and future-proof, as they can easily adapt to a changing demographic composition and changing needs and wishes.
