The commercial space used to be a former sauna. baukind, together with the client tried to conserve as many trades of this sauna as possible: the salt walls of the former salt sauna room were saved and even a little sauna cabin in the kids bathroom was kept.
Here the kids enjoy a weekly sauna session. Throughout the kindergarten multifunctional areas and elements were created.
Platforms offer storage room and play niches, tables serve also as a playing shop for kids, a wooden tunnel serves as seating bench, the hallway wall becomes an instrument, etc.
