Brief
Design and acquire authority approval for a “state of the art” ELC for approx. 100 children.
"apt" Solution
We designed a universally accessible, two storey facility including required on-site parking and operational infrastructure. Architectural expression is a derivation of modern Australian residential architecture – including form and building materials. Children’s spaces are designed to be pleasant with access to play areas, natural light and ventilation.
Spaces are scaled keeping young children in mind – especially outdoor spaces, transitioning from enclosed to open via semi-covered / semi-enclosed areas. Outdoor play areas are located away from sensitive interfaces with residential neighbours.
