The compact daycare building occupies a prominent location at the intersection of Kollikatu and Lavakatu, where the urban block structure meets the rugged rocky terrain. The design approach has been to align the building with the surrounding streets while preserving the area’s highest natural feature—Kollikallio—as an integral part of the children’s playground.

Subsequently, the discoveries from the laboratory (“bench”) to patient care (“bedside”) and vice versa are more efficient, ultimately, leading to improved health outcomes for the community.
