The building was sited to provide a children’s outdoor area facing north-east in a warm sheltered spot. The outdoor area flows freely from the building and is open and easily accessible through connecting pathways that run centrally within the area.

The important play destinations are located around the perimeter, connected by the concrete path, while at the same time separating the different types of play, avoiding the potential for conflict as children move around the site. The paths also provide all-weather access through the site and are wide enough for outdoor play activities to be set up.

Once the masterplan was signed-off we prepared developed and detailed design drawings; and subsequently provided site observation as the works were implemented.
