Kinderkids, Henry Place, Belfast

Mixed use development accommodating various local community groups including childcare facilities for Kinderkids Day Care.
The building units are arranged in a linear manner over 3 floors, creating a strong street frontage. Materials were chosen for their durability and low maintenance, and the use of coloured render adds a vibrancy to this location.
Internally the space benefits from an abundance of light and in-built flexibility. As a response to the constraints of the site and its urban context the day care facilities have external play areas on each floor level. There is also a private courtyard and open landscaped gardens to the rear.
Sited in a socially and economically disadvantaged area of Belfast, Kinderkids Day Care is the first community owned and managed full daycare centre in the city.
