Children harvesting from the raised productive gardens beside the chicken run at Forestville

This project was a new purpose built childcare centre. The architecture left a segmented footprint of outdoor space with large existing trees to be retrained. The site access was limited via a relatively steep and narrow slope, so appropriate material selection was required. The design embraces these constraints and creates a beautiful flowing playspace with a sustainable theme including productive gardens, chickens and a variety of spaces and experiences to discover and enjoy.
