LITTLE CREATIVE MINDS

Chicago, IL 

​

We partnered with Little Creative Minds to envision a 13,500-SF urban daycare that exemplifies modern design while maximizing limited space. The building’s angular form responds to the shape of the site and employs a contrasting mix of metal panels and stucco for a dynamic look. Large windows bring in generous amounts of natural light. A rooftop deck and secure ground-level playground ensure ample outdoor space for play and exploration. Inside, eight light-filled classrooms, support spaces, and a playful caterpillar-inspired ceiling feature coalesce into a vibrant, child-centric environment.
