Project preschool Lärkgatan in south Swedish county of Bjuv aims for a building with strong connections to local brick building traditions.
The site is part of an old mill community, and the building will speak the language of local tradition. With brick as a characteristic building material for this region, it turned out to be the natural material of choice.
We have also focused on highlighting the county´s tile manufacturing heritage, expressed in the use of locally connected CC Höganäs tiles in the building´s bathrooms.
The Lärkgatan preschool project meets the standards of Swedish environmental certification Miljöbyggnad Silver, calling for high performance solutions in ventilation and noise reduction, among other demands.
The main building also features solar cells and the surrounding outbuildings get green roofing.
