Mother and Child Residence, Modernist residential facility in New City North, Bienne, Switzerland.

The Mother and Child Residence is a modernist residential facility in northern New City in Bienne that houses 24 units for single mothers and their children. The building integrates private family spaces with shared common areas and early childhood care facilities within one structure.

The Stiftung Mutter und Kind was founded in 1963 on the private initiative of Margret Blösch and Marianne Stäuble to support single mothers and their children through difficult periods. Max Schlup built the home with 24 units between 1968 and 1970; the foundation was renamed Stiftung für Frauen & Kinder Biel in 1970. The building was placed under monument protection in 2003 and by contract of 22 September 2016.

The building is still run by the Stiftung für Frauen & Kinder Biel, founded in 1963 by Margret Blösch and Marianne Stäuble and renamed in 1970. Its name comes from that foundation, not from the architect. Today the house shelters women and children in crisis in the "SottoSopra" flats, and the "TuttiFrutti" daycare looks after children from three months to school age in four groups.

The building stands at the corner of Seevorstadt and Spitalstrasse, opposite the Kunsthaus Pasquart and next to the Museum Schwab, reachable from both streets. It is a working home and daycare centre, so the interior and courtyard are not open to visitors; the steel skeleton and facade can be seen from the public pavement.

The building's name comes from the Stiftung Mutter und Kind, founded in 1963 by Margret Blösch and Marianne Stäuble; the foundation was renamed Stiftung für Frauen & Kinder Biel in 1970. Its ground floor originally held a library, a dining room with kitchen and staff rooms, while the attic held daytime rooms for children.
