Kalkallo Aspire Childcare Centre was much needed within this ever-growing community and will accommodate 148 children from the local and surrounding areas. The centre is positioned across the road from the Kalkallo’s Recreation Reserve so that children can have access to the reserve and the local communities.
The design explores opportunities for natural light and seamlessly connects the inside and outside spaces. Internally, the timber floors assist in creating a warm, nurturing space.
Each room has either large, raked ceilings or a high clerestory window bringing daylight in and connecting the kids to the external environment.
The playground wraps around the built form elongating the playscape
