PRESCHOOL FÆLLEDEN

A preschool at Fælleden

As a member of the strategic collaboration ”Build with TRUST”, Kragh & Berglund has participated in the creation of the new preschool Fælleden at Artillerivej in Copenhagen. The project is a temporary pavilion that will remain for three years in the northern district of Amager Fælled. Kragh & Berglund has created the design and planning for the preschool’s external spaces – with a playground, entrance and parking spaces.

In the design of the playground focus has been on creating many small zones and niches, divided by planting areas, so the children can be and play together in small groups. The greenery plays an important role, as it is both a visual divider and creates shade, as well as it gives opportunity for play and learning. The trees and plants that have been chosen are robust and fast growing,  and will give enjoyment for children and adults with fruit, berries, colours and smells. In connection to the preschool a large common patio is created where children from the preschool and the children’s garden can join together for having meals and other common activities.
