Barnehage med allværsområde

Haugen/Zohar Architects were commissioned by Trondheim Municipality to design an outdoor area for a local kindergarten. The initiative aimed to promote outdoor activities in all weather conditions, upholding the Trondheim saying that 'There is no bad weather, only bad clothing'.

The project includes a unique enclosed space for children to enjoy fire, storytelling, and play, alongside the regular playground facilities. A key aspect of the design was its budget-friendly approach, utilizing leftover wooden materials from nearby construction to build the structure. This concept drew inspiration from Norwegian turf huts and traditional log constructions.

The completed construction boasts a wooden structure atop a lit and brushed concrete base, consisting of 80 circular layers with a combination of radii. These layers, each composed of 28 pieces of pine, create a cozy retreat that allows for a chimney effect and the entry of natural light. The outdoor fireplace covers an area of 20 m2 and has received several awards including Trondheims Byggeskikkspris 2010 and AR Awards 2009.
