Day-care centre with durable materials and green outdoor spaces

In collaboration with BBP Architects, Gladsaxe Municipality has created the Grønnegården Day-care Centre with clear ambitions for architecture, materials and everyday life from a child’s perspective.

The building was constructed adjacent to Den Gamle Grønnegård, one of Gladsaxe’s few remaining farms dating from before 1900. This gives the day-care centre a special connection to its location, where past and present meet through a restrained choice of materials.

The outdoor areas have been designed with a focus on nature and play. Here, the children can explore green surroundings where plants, animals and the changing seasons become part of everyday life.

Materials that respect the location

Architecturally, the Grønnegården Day-care Centre draws on pastoral farmyard charm and traditional building practices. Pantile Sheet 22-270 supports this expression and blends naturally with the building’s simple roof surfaces.

The profile is particularly relevant to a project like this, where new materials must complement historical references. The steel roof provides the building with a robust, long-lasting solution that requires minimal maintenance.

Silver was selected for the project so that the roof cladding complements the other materials. Gutters and flashings can be produced in the same colour, giving the roof a calm and cohesive finish.

The project’s colour palette was designed by visual artist Malene Bach. It complements the architecture and contributes to an environment created for children, play and development. The Grønnegården Day-care Centre was also nominated for the 2023 Arne of the Year architecture award.
