Hinge system for nurseries and kindergarten
Risk of injury in day-to-day life is much more of a concern with children around. That’s why accident insurance includes accident prevention regulations specific to playschools and daycare centres. So risks must be dealt with in line with planning laws and safety requirements and, therefore, finger protection should be included in the plans for buildings for children.

With a clear structure and discreet design concept, aws architects have taken on the new construction of the dSPACE Dötze Kindergarten in Paderborn. The consistent lines are not only evident in the recessed and backlit handrail, which has been integrated at two heights for children and adults, but also in the door elements, whose combination of wood and glass reflects the natural materiality and openness of the design approach.
