Inspired by its rural location, this new ECE design features details reminiscent of classic Vernacular Architecture creating a homely familiarity blending in to its surrounding neighbourhood. Accommodating 65 children and required staff offices, we were able to emphasise through the cross floor plan a strong integration with the landscape. The simple cross form is orientated parallel to cardinal points allowing for warm sunny rooms. The welcoming in of natural elements is a strong value here at MAKE, and has been reflected here in the form of planters and pockets of greenery, and providing an expansive outdoor playspace.
