The children's house
Note: Sketches of the architect.
The house will be built in two separate phases. First the completion of the first block in the middle of the property and then the completion of the second and third blocks.
The implementation of the planned children's home basically follows the requirements and criteria that the Future Citizen team had previously set for the construction project. Due to the nature of the property and the house, this may deviate from this in individual cases:

- 1 room for office and reception Study with 20-25 m²
- 20 m² kitchen
- 10 m² storage room
