This multi-level industrial warehouse was transformed into a young children’s preschool and reflects our thoughtful approach to create a unique learning environment that stimulates learning and creativity for the unique needs of the occupants while respecting the building’s original typology. Located in a manufacturing zone, it was important for the exterior to establish a strong connection with the interior through the design of a secure and pronounced entryway. The facade maintains the original fenestration and cladding of the concrete building, while incorporating a playful paint scheme to give identity to its adaptive reuse.
