Kindergarten and daycare centre in Kiens/Chienes

Children’s dreams, built sustainably. The kindergarten in Kiens offers space for two separate groups and a daycare centre for up to 20 children. The two-storey wooden building, designed by Roland Baldi Architects, is characterised by light-flooded rooms that open onto the garden. A children’s canteen caters for both the kindergarten children and the pupils of the neighbouring primary school. The reddish-brown wooden façade, inspired by the church tower, blends harmoniously into the townscape. A zigzag ramp provides step-free access and connects the building with the upper half of the village. The result is a dream building for children, where the little ones can explore, learn and play in safety.
