Reclaimed bricks, timber and steel in new surroundings for children

Together with Børnehuset Grønnegården, Børnehuset Egedammen forms part of Gladsaxe Municipality’s work on institutional buildings, where materials, architecture and everyday use are closely integrated.

Egedammen brings four former institutions together under one roof. This creates new opportunities for education, collaboration and operations, while providing the children with modern surroundings for play and learning.

The outdoor areas have been designed with a wilder, more natural character, where children can explore plants, animals and the changing seasons up close. This creates a strong interaction between the building and its outdoor spaces.

Materials chosen with the bigger picture in mind

Børnehuset Egedammen and Børnehuset Grønnegården were built using a combination of steel, timber and reclaimed bricks. This gives the buildings a calm and robust appearance that is well suited to everyday life in an institution.

The two institutions were nominated for the 2023 Arne of the Year architecture award, which that year placed particular emphasis on durable craftsmanship, robust materials and architecture that enhances users’ quality of life.

DS Stålprofil has achieved Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze for its main product range of steel profiles for roof and façade cladding. The certification is based on documentation covering aspects such as material selection, product circularity and responsible production conditions.

At Børnehuset Egedammen, Pandeplade 22-270 has been used as roof cladding. The profile works well in both traditional construction and modern architecture where a simple roof appearance, long service life and minimal maintenance are desired.
