Project: Mother Duck signature childcare centre

Practice: Context Architects Ltd

Name: Stephen Voyle

With a delightful playfulness, this colour palette brings a rainbow of colours together wholeheartedly. Values are translated through the use of colour. Colour is used to create attachment, familiarity and a sense of belonging. The bold, beautiful colours are a unifying feature of the entire design. The colours lead the cohesion of the concept and informed many of the other design choices; all made with children in mind. This is a childcare centre that is coloured to delight parents and children alike.

Project: Piopio Primary School

Practice: Van Beek Design

Name: Trudy Denize

Thoughtful and not obvious, this school enjoys a restrained use of colour, a great example of not trying to do too much. The colour palette is a very gentle treatment of an old county school that has grown and integrates new and old so very well. Colours have been chosen to reflect and enhance the traditional details and accents are used for energy and creativity. A refreshing new look for a much loved school that is the heart of the community.
