The centre originally welcomed 78 children, including 10 infants, in a two-storey facility. As local needs grew, the decision was made to double its capacity by building an adjoining facility for 80 additional children.

This dynamic composition continues inside, where the openings help define themed areas within the playrooms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Inside, the spaces were designed around age groups: infants occupy the ground floor, while older children use the upper floor. The corridors are punctuated by lockers with bevelled shapes and vivid colour gradients, providing energy and visual cues.
