A child care facility with programs for infants, toddlers, preschool and after school care.  Like "dice in a game" the boxes that held the classrooms and other major functions were twisted in plan to create a playful feel in both the interior common spaces as well as the exterior elevations.

These boxes are then wrapped in a cladding system of stained cedar with window placements always engaging an edge of the box with patios being carved into of them.  The end result is a very clearly defined set of spaces that the children can identify with and make discoveries at they walk the halls and play in the school yard.
