This was an invited competition initiated by the commune of Forest in Brussels to build an extremely energy efficient nursery for 56 children. The building needed to follow the norms for a “Passive building”.
The winning proposal responded to the 5 themes articulated by the local authorities:

1. A building that enhances a stimulating learning environment, prioritizing the well-being of the young children;
2. A building that offers a safe and nurturing environment for toddlers;
3. A building that offers an excellent environment for the caring staff, places to work and also to rest ;
4. A building that enhances communication between the parents and the staff;
5. A building that offers flexibility and adaptability.
