Reception AreaBuilt in a subterranean bomb shelter (common in Singapore), this day care centre proposal was fairly complex. Drawing from a multitude of concepts, there was a constant need to convince people using the space that they weren't in a basement.
Two views of the main corridor. First from reception, the other looking back from the opposite end of the corridor.
The giant ventilation pipe running through the main corridor presented a great challenge - covering it wasn't an option as it would make the already confined space unmanageable. Instead, it was "converted" into a rocket. The space theme also takes the form of a sky to space mural on the wall which climbs onto the ceiling and runs the length of the corridor.
Space and its traversing, in my opinion, is a great concept for children. After all, what better way to inspire and encourage children to reach up than the pinnacle of human achievement through ingenuity amongst the stars?
