Day care centre de kleine Kikker
Designer: Drost + van Veen architecten
Location: De Uithof, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Image Credits: Drost + van Veen architecten
The new building is conceived as a contemporary type of farm, in form, material and construction (steel structure). The coloured facade and the aluminium roof contrast the rustic environment. The silhouette of the pointed roof refers to the existing farm building. Towards the back of the building, it transforms into a modernistic, functional building, with a flat roof, instead of a farm.
