In this first step, the main programmatic purpose to be achieved has been how to involve the foundation headquarter´s workers in the Daycare everyday routine. The answer to this challenge is a half-buried three level building with two different entries connected by playful and “crazy” stair.

Its cantilevered volumes and fragmented skin are the link between the institution and the residential neighborhood that surround the building and become a new reference in this urban context. Showing an opened, attractive and kind image, the building lets its users and neighbours come closer, according to INTRAS integration guidelines: the foyer turns to be a small café, the multipurpose hall turns to be an opened space kitchen opened to everyone that wants to register in its cooking courses.
