2015 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
OUCA Childcare Centre
Inspired by a journey from the mountains to the sea, this cleverly arranged, interconnected fusion of joyful buildings creates a safe, purposeful experience for children and teachers. In scale, rhythm and architectural language, the building sits extremely well within the contemporary vernacular architecture of the student area of Dunedin by presenting a strong villa aesthetic to the street. Meticulous attention to the reuse of prominent building elements reinforces the metaphorical connection of the children to their domestic setting, while a successful integration of a bilingual unit further promotes the building as a dynamic, multicultural and enjoyable building.
