2016 - 2022
A new purpose-built 36 place childcare centre is situated on a residential corner site. Terraced gardens and outdoor playspaces integrated over two levels, with semi-basement parking.
The strong building form is enveloped by a veil that peels away from the facade, becoming a privacy and acoustic screen to outdoor playspaces. Each storey is articulated by contrasting materials of timber, face-brick and concrete, with colours referencing the surrounding residential context.
The sweeping outdoor play-area is supported by a sloping concrete structure. Radial concrete ribs span over the vehicular ramp down to the carpark which is naturally ventilated by brick screen openings in the facade.
