This feasibility study into expanding and developing the traditional kindergarten. The aim is to develop a new kindergarten concept, Generasjonshagen, with activities offered to all generations in the local community.

The organization and design of the prototype for Generasjonshagen is based on an analysis of the common spaces in a traditional kindergarten. The traditional kindergarten already contains many of the spatial qualities for socializing, but with a somewhat isolated focus on the scale of the children. Generasjonshagen restructures and adapts the institution's comman spaces with focus on togetherness and cooperation across generations. The architecture bridges the gap across generations in its working hours, as well as introducing multifunctional sollutions that allows for sharing of facilities after hours to the local community. Generasjonshagen thereby becomes a new destination and a social resource in the local community.
