The Pikku-Paavali day care

The Pikku-Paavali day care

The Pikku-Paavali day care centre is a healthy and cosy place for children
to grow. The building proves that the modern log suits excellently for care
environments, and its example has been widely followed.

The Pikku-Paavali day care

The Pikku-Paavali day care centre provides a healthy, safe and eco-friendly environment for its 100 children and staff. The red building blends in nicely in the surrounding town fabric and is light and spacious in the inside.

The labyrinthine inner structure with nooks and crannies for children to discover and play in is organized around a spacious assembly room. The solid log walls soften the high-pitch voices of children, contributing to the spatial experience of warmth, fresh air and functional beauty.

Visits:

- 1 hour guided tour 124 € (incl. VAT 24 %), Mon-Fri 13-16 p.m.

“The acoustic environment is much nicer (than in the previous premises)
and it can be seen in that kids can calm down better and focus on their play.”

The Modern Log City Pudasjärvi project (2016-2018) promotes the use of modern log especially in public building in Finland and abroad. We also promote Pudasjärvi as the center of modern log building industry, and productise Pudasjärvi log construction for touristic uses.

The project is a sub project to the Modern Log City that aims to research novel log architecture suitable for urban environments, application of mass customization in the design of log buildings, and life-cycle economics of different kinds of modern log buildings.

The projects are funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
