Design Scope

The fitout of this early learning childcare centre was based in a heritage building and needed to meet strict requirements associated with it. And being the third fitout for this dynamic client meant that we were more than ready for the challenges associated with this specific commercial sector.

By stripping away many existing interior layers, we were able to focus on restoring hidden features and a very impressive timber floor. New works are sympathetic to the heritage elements in style, colour and purpose. Installation of new glazed partitioning to form required spaces within the interior were colour matched to existing finishes, providing a perfect blend of new and old interior elements for this classroom interior design project. Each space has been carefully finished providing a well-balanced interior ready for the onslaught of little people.

The success of this construction project was crowned with a Conservation Heritage Award for conservation of a heritage place within the institutional category.
