KINDERGARTEN AND
SCHOOL IN TÄUFFELEN
The new building fits quite naturally into the existing
village structure of Täuffelen in the Bernese Seeland.
Morscher Architekten expanded a traditional, listed
village school from the 1930s into a primary school en-
semble which consists of a kindergarten and a school
with a generous outdoor space and a magnificent view
from all the classrooms.
D ark, long hallways and any number of closed doors – the type
of the traditional school building used to be the result of the
learning method of frontal instruction where contents were presen-
ted to a group of pupils. Open educational landscapes and room
clusters reflect our present-day pedagogic understanding of autono-
mous learning. In the primary school in the community of Täuffelen,
children aged between four and twelve play and learn in rooms
which are flexibly usable. On a slightly sloping site, Morscher Archi-
tekten from Bern designed a three-storey extension building which
takes up the topography of the location with spacious seating steps
and staggered levels outside as well as inside. Open and enclosed
areas of different sizes and with different orientations combine to
form a differentiated spatial structure. The garden level has room for
two kindergarten groups whereas the two upper levels each accom-
modate two classrooms. Wide seating stairs lead up to the bright,
loosely furnished access zone which here replaces the classic school
hallway. It serves as a multifunction meeting point and is positioned
in front of the quiet, enclosed zones as a place of communication.
For activities requiring particular concentration, there is a room for
differentiated instruction room adjacent to each classroom. From in-
formal learning to classic classes all the way to working in small
groups and individually, the building structure provides the suitable
setting for various situations. The architectural concept is supported
by an unobtrusive, minimalist design. Restriction to just a few co-
lours and materials, warm shades of wood and exposed concrete
create a calm atmosphere without any distractions. Haptic, natural
surfaces stimulate the sensory perception. Ceilings of wooden slats
conceal the technical installations and thus contribute to the clear
appearance. Low windows with seats at child height produce the
connection with the exterior space and allow an unobstructed view
