CAMPERDOWN CHILDCARE CO-AP (ARCHITECTS)

摘要

This project for an eighty-place childcare centre successfully inserts new architecture into a former industrial warehouse in Sydney's inner west. The architects' response to the brief has been to cleverly design a series of indoor and outdoor spaces that create the ambience of a domestic neighbourhood. While the inherent qualities of the warehouse have been preserved, large parts of the roof have been removed to create outdoor play spaces. Other sections of the roof have been retained for shade and waterproofing. The internal accommodation requirements have been met through the design of simple and delightful structures that provide a domestic typology and scale suitable for children. Collectively these structures form a playful streetscape and skyline when viewed from the outdoor play area.
