1990 Parliamentary Zone Child Care Centre

Admirably crafted the building derives a stature from the hipped umbrella roof and sculptural light wells. There is no doubt that this building belongs to children. Throughout the interior, the scale, the light, the colours and the forms are modelled with a deft sureness that result in the creation of a very special space.
