The project involved creating a free standing, cast-concrete shell around the existing two-storey building on a 1960s social housing estate.

    Lovely interiors: colorful, spacious, and well lit The brief was for contrasts and the architects have done an admirable job.

    hello edward!
    Colorful???
    Did you see the same pictures as I?

    I see: gray floor, white walls and a “nice” green….

    It´s a space for kids to play. Not a hospital!

    Well, let ask the kids. Sometime imagination doesn’t need a super-colorful space, y’all.

    What I think this place lacks are niches and corners. Children like to “hide” around. They like being “embraced” and hardly any of them are claustrophobic.

    To M!,
    Gray floor? Looks green to me. I see the space as allowing the toys ie the play furniture to predominate. These can be replaced when necessary.

    the gig is up. It’s just as inappropriate inside as outside.
