The proposal includes a preschool with eight departments on two floors where the departments collaborate in pairs with each other. This is to have surface-efficient departments at the same time as it is possible for the departments to be run independently.

The building consists of four volumes, two educational volumes; one for the staff and one service volume. These volumes are linked together with a fifth volume, which is a glazed volume that serves as a communication and even more common space (courtyard and a generous staff entrance).

The pre-school is located on a green hilltop in Majnabbshamnen with good recreational and sun conditions. Entrances to the various sections face Götaälven and the playground, which is the largest part of the property; at a slight angle from the Oscarsleden. This to emphasize the meeting between the visitors and the building at first sight. The exterior perspective below shows how you are greeted by the building when you get to the site.

Facade och detail section 1:30

Non-organic materials, cavity wall bricks and brick blocks filled with perlite together with an additional layer of perlite insulation form the load-bearing façade. The three-layer roofing of cardboard on the roof enables an almost flat roof with a slope of as little as 1: 100 (0.5 °).
