The nursery is located in Nantes, on a woody parcel of 700 sqm, at the corner of two streets, in a residential area. The Architects opted for an original urban building, in harmony with the district. In this way, the nursery is based on a jewellery box: the high volumes seem to come unfolded from an initial central volume. It looks like a big house.
Constructive system:
The nursery was designed in order to give, at the building’s back, a protected and quiet children’s garden with trees.
The main building material is the wood (European Larch). It is used for the frame, the vertical cladding and the roof. It entirely covers the building. The Larch was processed without chemicals, but with an innovative technology based on old times techniques: “Oléothermie”. The wood is impregnated with vegetables oils that have proprieties against fungus.
