Dorrington Child and Family Hub

Education

The design for the Kindergarten and Maternal Health and Children services facility aims to nurture young minds while catering to the sensory needs of neurodiverse and autistic children. There was a strong focus on sustainability for the project including recycled bricks from the original structure, a nature based outdoor play area with productive gardens, and biophilic natural finishes throughout. We prioritised creating calming and sensory-sensitive spaces to foster a sense of security and comfort for children and caregivers alike. The design is a holistic development with emphasis on inclusion for the broader community including young children, senior users, parents and babies and neurodiverse clientele.
