The stand-alone building responds to the environment with a sensitive design utilising natural materials. The curving roof maximises the provision of natural light and ventilation, which supplements the highly sustainable construction. The building is constructed with a timber frame and incorporates renewable heat sources and a green roof ensuring a low energy solution. The project provides generous external play areas which includes safe surfaces as well as natural features to create a stimulating but secure environment.
