GoodStart Kindergartens

Project Year(s)
2014-2015
Location
Australia, Brisbane
Partners & Collaborators
'Cactus and Hills'
Status
Implemented
Objective
To design safe and engaging outdoor spaces for preschool children, integrating play, exploration, and learning within limited areas and diverse site conditions.
Challenge
Each site required a unique approach: adapting play structures to irregular plots, working with steep or constrained terrain, and considering Brisbane’s subtropical climate.
Solution
The designs introduced a variety of play zones — from climbing and sliding areas to quiet corners for reading and observation. Natural materials, gentle topography, and planting were used to stimulate children’s senses while ensuring safety and durability. Each courtyard balances active play with calm green pockets, creating environments that support early development and everyday learning.
