The Red Squirrel Children’s Nursery

Planning permission has just been granted for the new Red Squirrel Children`s Nursery at Dykes of Gray relocating from their current Nursery in Liff.  Collaborating with Algo & The Red Squirrel Nursery, our design will create a new purpose built nursery for 67 children located in the new village centre of Dykes of Gray. The design of the building maximises natural daylight to the play spaces and allows direct access to the outdoor play areas. The massing and materials refer to vernacular buildings with the use of vertical timber cladding and a highly insulated metal roof to create a modern nursery focussing on outdoor activities to serve the families in the new houses at Dykes of Gray.
