Designed on a human scale, this daycare center provides a warm environment conducive to the growth and development of each child. The building is set into the natural slope and vegetation.
Through the assemblage, placement, size, and shape of the buildings, the project welcomes, protects, and supports activities on the site, ensuring that it takes advantage of the potential synergy between elements of the program. Ultimately, the project is part of a larger scale, that of the city and the developing sector. The aim is therefore to ensure that the complex integrates fully into its context, first by offering services that are in demand, and then by facilitating connections with and between these services.
