Located in the centre of the Dresden's quarter Pieschen an outdoor
space for various uses has been developed on a narrow lot.
In the front part a playground for toddlers and school-aged children
was established. A "Sitzschlange" (snakelike bench) has
been designed functioning as a necessary safeguarding measure towards
the adjacent streetscape. The colourful wooden elements provide convenient
seating and are a visual signal along the public sidewalk.
The school's garden in the rear of the site has been developed utilizing
the existing elements.
Former sandstone fence pillars have been cut into slabs and were reused
as paving material. The colourful wooden fence between the two areas
is used as an enclosure for the school's garden and on the other hand
is integrated into the playground's concept as a playable element.
Flowering shrubs have been planted along the long sides of the site,
visually accentuating the space.
