swedish firm tham & videgard arkitekts has designed ‘tellus’ a nursery school located in stockholm. the site is on the border between a former urban/industrial development and a small forest. their project mediate between these different contexts and scales. a semi enclosed entrance court yard constitute a first exterior space, where parents and children can meet up before entering the premises. on each floor, three groups find their own secluded class rooms as well as common spaces for playing and learning. the facade made from sawn wood filters direct sunlight and create hidden windows that underscore the curved interior and exterior spaces. the project is currently under construction and will be completed at the end of this year.
