A nursery school with 240 children. The building is constructed of wood (partially steel-framed) using the KES construction method. Larch laminated wood beams and steel trusses are combined to create a nursery with a span of more than 10 m while keeping the beam size low. Local cedar and cypress are used for most of the wood parts such as columns.
