‘Stadtspatzen’ day care centre
Project details
- Introduction
- ‘Stadtspatzen’ day care centre in Wismar: blow-in insulation and timber frame construction with URSA mineral wool. For the ‘Stadtspatzen’ day care centre project in Wismar, Freiort Architekten opted for an innovative combination of natural timber construction and mineral wool insulation. This building project is an example of sustainable and ecologically sound construction. The L-shaped, three-storey building complex combines a variety of educational functions on an area of 2,533 m². The carefully thought-out spatial concept combines kindergarten, school and event rooms, as well as practice and office space. This building provides a valuable learning and experience environment for children, pupils, educators and teachers.

Project description
The Stadtspatzen day care center in Wismar features an innovative design combining natural timber construction and mineral wool insulation. Designed by FREIORT ARCHITEKTEN, this three-story L-shaped building covers 2,533 m² and serves as a multi-functional educational space, housing a daycare, school for future educators, cafeteria, event rooms, and rental office spaces. Its architecture emphasizes sustainability, ecology, and education, aligning with the founders' values of environmental respect.
The building uses a wood-frame construction with URSA mineral wool for insulation, ensuring energy efficiency, high fire and sound protection, and a flexible layout. The use of prefabrication and blown-in insulation expedited construction, allowing the entire building to be completed in just nine weeks. The materials used, including URSA PUREONE and PUREFLOC, are eco-friendly, with 99% recycled content, contributing to the building’s low energy demand and excellent thermal performance.
The building’s design supports sustainability through energy-efficient solutions, such as a photovoltaic system and heat pump. Materials like wood and mineral wool are recyclable, enhancing the project's focus on circular economy principles. The building not only serves as a functional educational space but also as a visible example of sustainable practices for both children and educators.
In conclusion, Stadtspatzen is a model for sustainable, flexible architecture, demonstrating how wood and mineral wool can be effectively integrated for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings.
