This development formed part of a bigger children’s fantasy park and educational experience known as a “Garden for Children”. In the Garden, children are encouraged to learn and interact with structures and surroundings. The walls are constructed of rammed earth, while the roof structure is of waterproofed timber and well drained troughs. This is a green roof building that has been recognised as a great solution for green roof buildings in Queensland. Courtesy of Complete Urban
GARDEN FOR
CHILDREN
PRE-SCHOOL
PREP FACILITY
The client requested a two classroom prep facility for pre-school children with central service such as kitchen and art room spaces. Outside, we provided spaces that includes play equipment and sand pits under a sail roofed areas. The roofed sails were modelled and placed in such a way to provide maximum protection from the sun during play times.
The building is a very simple and functional form that became an asset for the school to accommodate pre-school kids. The design support spaces flowing from the inside of the two large classrooms to the outside play area, while sharing the functional central spaces.
Although the outside space is fenced and separated from the remainder of the school, it is visually well connected with the rest of the school. Courtesy of Elevation Architecture Studio
