The project
includes 36 child-care spaces, a community cafe, and a wide range
of family and parent facilities
such as health rooms, meeting and training rooms.
The project sits
within a conservation area, and the design philosophy has been to
faithfully restore the highly decorated Edwardian villa, and to contrast
this with a modern extension, clad in timber and glass. |

Conservation and
extension of Ilmington House, an existing Edwardian villa, to provide
a new children's centre.
The new building forms an L shaped footprint
with the existing house, enclosing a secure
play area to the south, with canopied French
windows opening out from the crèche spaces
and café
