In this project, an existing former school building with a clinker brick facade was to be converted to new uses, including a daycare center. We at RhineRender were tasked with visualizing the ideas for the daycare center. While the building itself was to undergo only minimal changes, such as the addition of a green roof including a PV system, the focus was on redesigning the outdoor area, including creating new parking spaces in the building's entrance area. The clinker brick facade was to be preserved and showcased in the architectural renderings to retain the historic aesthetic. Particular attention was paid to a child-friendly design of the outdoor grounds, which was meant to underline the building's function as a daycare center while offering space for play and fun. The overall atmosphere was to feel friendly and inviting. Thanks to the collaboration with the client, planning issues were identified and resolved early during the revision rounds.
