Kindergarten Solrosen

Kindergarten Solrosen
Address: Kong Rings gate 17, Hønefoss, Norway
Completion:2009
Built Up Area:1300 m2


The aim was to design a natural building. A kindergarten that will warmly welcome you, whether you are a child, a parent, or an employee.
The main entrance to the kindergarten is from Kong Rings street. You enter a central circular room that forms the heart of the building. The kindergarten has a rather unconventional floor plan, designed to resemble a petal. The individual rooms are arranged in a fan shape around the core, facing outward. Each room has large windows providing daylight and continuity between the interior and exterior. The building is mostly single-story, with only the northern side being two stories. Consequently, the entire space is almost barrier-free.
The architecture of the Solrosen kindergarten contributes to the expansion of natural architecture. The very concept of the building offers an interesting perspective on the perception of the interior and exterior.
Each space is separated by thick walls that create distinct areas. The result is completely independent spaces connected by a central courtyard. This invites a variety of activities – from quiet to physically demanding. The building forms a workshop where a new chapter of a child's curious mind is created every day.
