Daycare Centre – “Home Away from Home”

“Home Away from Home” is the concept guiding the daycare’s design. As they enter, children are greeted by enormous spheres resembling colorful suns. To reach their classrooms, children must enter the heart of the project, a central space in the shape of a little house evoking a familiar and intimate place for the child; a reassuring spatial landmark in a world built to his scale. The house has small, square windows allowing children to peek in to neighboring classrooms, all located along the facades. Volumes, furniture and materials come together to stir and feed the children’s imagination.
