Gold Street Children’s Centre has been designed to upgrade the existing children’s centre to today’s modern team teaching approach, to include two maternal child health spaces and to provide a modern entry and administration facility. The new entry design is based on the idea of encapsulating the excitement of a child as they approach the centre. This is done through the metaphor of a skipping child, shown on the façade as a simple geometric triangle. This triangle skips towards the main entrance with increasing intensity, with coloured vertical battens gaining in colour and intensity as one gets closer to the entrance. From the opposite side the existing roof overhangs are unified with the new through a wrapping coloured facia that undulates back and cuts down towards the main entrance. This facia starts at the side of the building as a tree that morphs into a bench seat that morphs into the fascia wrap.
