Sandbox childcare Facility

The concept of this project is a sandbox as it symbolizes playfulness and fun. Sand inspired the designer of this project to work with organic and raw shapes to create a sense of uniqueness and purity. The Integration of nature inspired her to create a gentle environment, working with a soft color palette, biophilic elements, and comfortable finishes. The sand, though fine and seemingly insignificant, is essential for the growth of nature and sustaining life on our planet. Sand, contains primitive and elemental information, linked to our memory and our senses, allows us to experience textures, colors, smells, and a set of emotions that enrich perception and learning in early childhood. The sandbox, a place in which there are opportunities for children to subconsciously build, shape, change, imagine, order, simplify, perfect, and embellish a concept or an idea. When children are playing inside a sandbox, the sand is hugging their bodies, a hug is a home that embraces multiple cultures, different beliefs, and traditions, a space of tolerance, cooperation, and happiness.
