Therefore a competition tender submission for a new child care centre was issued in 2008. The existing 19th century ‘Gründerzeit’ school was to be extended by eight primary school classes, a after-school care club and a kindergarten with kitchen.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus The association of architects MAGK illiz won the competition and was awarded the tender. The draft of the project team MAGK illiz breaks up the construction into L-shaped bodies which are interlaced in such a manner that different places and free spaces to play in and for learning are formed in the interstices.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus Good orientation and quick ways for children and adults are provided by a simple routing system between the functional areas of the two-floor ensemble.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus The new main entrance to the school is also the assembly hall and connects the existing school building with the new building. The façade is developed as a ‘pixeled’ white envelope. Format and joining patterns of the “window pixels” meet the current utilisation needs whereby the rooms at the back can be interpreted from outside and the recall value of the individual building sections is enhanced. The façade surfaces alternate between smooth and rough plaster which, particularly in grazing light, creates a vivid impression.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus Unlike the high-contrast façade, the design of the interior rooms is characterised by varying, finely tuned colour and material combinations.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus The differing design of doors, cloakrooms and wall panels in an individual range of colour for each area of activity facilitates finding the way and increases their identification, particularly for the children. The cloakrooms of the children’s groups are covered in wood and meander like snails shells into private niches. “Pixels” protrude into the corridors and from the façade; they are used by the children as nests to read and to cuddle up in.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus All activity areas have green and free surfaces. The playground used for breaks turns into a climbing and adventure scenery by its dazzling orange rubber surface, the roof terrace with the smoothly concreted surface becomes a race course. Crèche and kindergarten form a common one to two floor patio which forms a settled pacified centre surrounded by play corridors, multi-purpose and action rooms. The colourful door and ventilation elements of the room-high glass façade allow a for an event room to emerge which can be used flexibly. There is a two-floor loggia of a white-coated welded grid and coloured glass pain curtain to the west of the group rooms on the left, in front of the kindergarten. It complements the monolithic character of the building and is both a sunshade and fall-protection. Depending on the viewing angle, the façade appears anything from transparent to closed, from the interior, however, it embodies a protective second envelop, allowing the smallest children a glance into the greenery and conjures colourful spots of light in the room.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf, image courtesy MAGK illiz | Photo by Hertha Hurnaus The material and construction concept is characterised by the high standards imposed on ecological sustainability. To ensure the building period was speedy, the new construction was setup in a composite construction method with a solid core as storage mass and a prefabricated, high-insulation envelope of timber frame construction, of solid wood panel structure respectively. The entire new building complies with passive house standards, the aim of which is greatest ease and comfort for the user at lowest possible operating costs. With an innovative ventilation concept it is possible to achieve a minimisation of costs with regard to the operating times of the mechanical ventilation. For this purpose the classrooms and group rooms are aired by transverse ventilation via acoustic slot openings across the corridor zones without noise from the corridor being transported into the classrooms. This concept also technically ensures that overheating in summer is prevented temperatures dropping at night. Thanks to efficient cost control the overall budget could also be used to redevelop and renovate the existing gym in the scope of this extension. Furthermore, the circulating strip lights could be renewed and provided with circumferential horizontal, partially movable sun protection louvers.  Childcare Centre Maria Enzersdorf - Concept, drawing courtesy MAGK illiz The childcare centre of MAGK illiz is characterised particularly sensitively by the traditional, small dimension structure of the surroundings. The broken building volume is so interlaced that it by no means competes with the environment. Together with the existing classrooms, the new primary school, the crèche and the kindergarten form one of the largest childcare centres in Lower Austria after a mere period of three years needed for planning and building.

 Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl one (school) for all Central and still removed from the heavy traffic of the federal highway one can find the most important public institutions of Deutsch-Wagram lined up along a footpath: city administration, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. In order to enable school education up to university entrance qualification, the municipal council decided the erection of an upper secondary school with focus on natural sciences and mathematics ("Realgymnasium"). At the same time, the existing secondary school ("Hauptschule") needed to be expanded. A common institution for both types of school promised to yield valuable synergies.  Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl Spatial proximity to the other educational institutions seemed logical, but the available property with park and landscape pond was a valuable area used by kindergarten and elementary school during recess. Moreover, it was not without problems with regard to structural engineering for a large-volume building task.  Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl The ultimate aim was to preserve the pond's accessibility and the recess area for all pupils as much as possible. The spatial programme therefore was divided up into two separate structures: a long school block and a double sports hall. The school block's latitude lies perpendicular to the footpath and at its projecting heading section forms a generous forecourt with a prominent canopied entrance and an adjoining cloakroom and aula. The three- to four-storey structure adapts to the terrain in its ground plan as well as in its cross-section, floating on a circumferential glass strip in the green space. The sports hall is dug in as far as the high groundwater level would allow, and thus stays in measure with the kindergarten and elementary school on the opposite side. To underline its discreteness, entrance for external sport usages and to the spectators' gallery is gained via an external stairway in close vicinity to the parking lots in the street "auf der heide". The underground connection to the school block keeps the access to the pond and from the cemetery alley open for the public.  Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl  Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl Distribution of functions with synergetic effects Due to the combination of two types of secondary school, the wishes and requirements of different clients and users had to be united in one building. This was solved on the one hand by separating the main classrooms and administrative areas ("Hauptschule" on the 1st floor, "Gymnasium" on the 2nd floor), and on the other hand by common utilisation of the general areas (natural sciences on the ground floor, classrooms with creative focus on the attractive lower floor on pond level). The shared building makes it possible to use classrooms which are not normally provided in the respective school type (e.g., handicrafts for upper secondary school, chemistry lab for regular secondary school). A shared library extending over three floors is the heart of the building. Sitting steps are an invitation to read, at the same time offering the possibility to hold smaller lectures and presentations.  Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl The area on the second floor which had to allow for optional extension was realised in the shape of a generous roof terrace. Deck platforms and sitting steps provide premium recess space in the immediate vicinity of the main classrooms and can also be used for open-air classes.  Image courtesy Franz Architekten | Photo by lisa rastl Façade play In order to signalise the togetherness of school block and sports hall, a façade concept was developed that underlines the character of each of the two structures. The dug-in sports hall grows out of the ground with light blue aluminium panels, dissolving into white the higher it grows, while the floating school block takes up the slab underside's neutral white and bleeds out into light blue. 175 windows of the same size (1.80 x 1.80m) react flexibly to the different interior spaces like main classes, library or recess areas. Every class gets one window with a deep niche in sitting height as a small local recess zone. The sports hall is equipped with the same square windows, enabling visual contact from outside for passers-by as well as a connection with the adjacent pond for spectators on the gallery.

The 100 meter long middle aisle flares conically at its knee according to movement flows, on the western side opens up towards the pond over two-storey recess areas, and in addition receives natural daylight from four equal stairways on the eastern side. The sum of compact structure, highly insulated thermic building envelope and a ventilation system with efficient waste heat recovery results in an extraordinarily energy efficient building with passive house qualities. Energy generation by means of groundwater heat pumps and a photovoltaic system, as well as rainwater seepage on its own property contribute to an overall ecological concept.
