A small village for playing

2019

The concept for the new children’s house in Moabit is based on the existing characteristics of the site, which are carefully developed further.

The basis for the urban structure is the heterogeneous character of the site with its various buildings, including a climbing tower, a rabbit hutch, a girls’ trailer and more. The volume of the building is structured into a village by dividing the compact space into five pitched roof houses of different sizes. These houses are interconnected by the surrounding nature, which strings them together in a staggered arrangement. This allows the building to recede in its entirety and blend harmoniously into the surroundings.
