Architects: Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter

The institution comprises four groups of children, each with its own group room. The four group rooms identify themselves to the facade as the gable of a fisherman’s house.

Inspiration from architect:
The building is shaped as an interpretation of the condensed village structure immersed in a dune. The applied typology is challenged and used to create good light incidence to the children at all times of the year.
