Three 'age group' playrooms are joined together by a single-storey building, with a large roof light offering views up to the tree canopy above. There is a first floor area for offices, staff and a family room. Each of the three playrooms opens out to the covered terrace, to allow outdoor time for the children, and then out into three distinct garden spaces.A Cross-Laminated Timber structure provides the perfect combination of creating a warm, tactile interior, whilst also using a natural, sustainable product that could structurally achieve the clear roof volumes.�
