The Nuotti Daycare Centre highlights the relationship between people and nature. The exterior architecture echoes the calm and natural atmosphere of the surrounding forest. Indoors, the forest mood is captured by themes of changing seasons and experiencing the enjoyment of walking in nature.


Located in the Pukinmäki neighbourhood of Helsinki, the daycare centre will provide early childhood education for up to 210 young children aged from 1 to 6 years. The building is designed to be long-lasting and durable, energy efficient and easily maintained. Flexible spaces provide interesting places for the children to explore and spend their days. During evenings and weekends, the daycare facilities can be reserved and used by local residents for extracurricular use.
