2020 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
The Lakes Early Childhood Education Centre
A strong sheltering roof form is combined with a dynamic timber structure to create a stimulating learning space that satisfies stringent regulatory requirements. A generous and well-considered veranda zone invites free movement between inside and out, offering a richness and variety of space for groups of varying age, number and mood. Shelter, sunlight, air, tactile materials and child perspective are sensitively considered in each space. The architecture successfully provides protection and is also a progressive and human solution to an institutional brief.
