Kindergarten Waldegg - Horgen

The political municipality of Horgen is situated on the left, western bank of Lake Zurich at a distance of about 15 km from the cantonal capital of Zurich. For many years the local kindergarten lacked a permanent home. Steiner was given the task of designing a new expansion building to completely replace the existing building complex.

Together with the architects, Steiner designed and constructed a two-storey building using prefabricated wooden elements with no cellar. Its clever positioning makes ideal use of the available school grounds, allowing all ages to share use of the building. A connecting walkway on the first floor connects the kindergarten directly with the school building, fostering active interaction.
