In a suburb of Oslo is the kindergarten Nansenparken, which was won in a turnkey tender. Like most of BJERG’s projects, the kindergarten is designed
according to the passive house standard. The facade of the building has dark bricks in the facade, which are contrasted by a colored fiber cement board to create a play of materials and colors. Both inside and outside, the nursery’s design focuses on inviting play and activity — e.g. with color divided zones.
The kindergarten for 200 children has a horseshoe shape, and on the two floors there are 12 bases for the children’s groups, all of which have a view of the outdoor areas. In a large kindergarten like Nansenparken, there is a need for well-thought-out solutions — both in terms of building and interior design. The material choices are robust and the room layout makes it safe for both children and staff.
The plot has a steep slope to the east, and the basement of 1,550 m² has been
necessary to deal with a possible flood. The building was
therefore raised approximately one metre, where there are parking facilities in the basement level
to optimize the ground area for play and development. The building body is
designed and placed so that it shields against noise from a busy road.
