Frederiksvej Kindergarten // Cobe Year of completion: 2016 This project was first started in 2011 as a competition. To mark the completion of project, it was officially launched by the mayor in 2016. The kindergarten intended to build a little township environment for kids in a largescale institutional daycare environment. The architecture of this project is made up of 11 small houses composed together organized in altered placement. The diverse recreation programs in the kindergarten are positioned about two winter parks that occasioned in these minor, personalized spaces where children can create their personal play spaces within the building. According to the founder and Creative Director of COBE, Stubbergaard (2015) a variety rooms were planned to support a diverse type of activities for the children in all seasons. Atriums were used as an informal gathering between children, employees and parents.

From this project, it is best interpreted as the modest illustration as a representation of how a child may illustrate a house. The roofline is kept uncluttered and windows are designed to look frameless. It is interesting that the kindergarten adjusts to the diverse scales of the local people and reflects the neighbouring pitched roofs that range in different heights and pitches.
