Located in the thriving Hunua Views Residential Development in Auckland, this new childcare center for New Shoots is a unique addition to the vibrant community of Ramarama. Designed to cater to the diverse needs of families residing in this newly established neighborhood, this bespoke facility encompasses a single-story building and an expansive playground, spanning across a generous 1,232m² site.

The childcare center is thoughtfully divided into three specialized care zones, accommodating children aged 0-18 months, 18-36 months, and 3 to 5 years. With a firm commitment to a sustainable future, every aspect of the design and construction process was executed with meticulous attention to the well-being of children and the environment. Careful consideration was given to selecting materials, interiors, and furniture that promote both the health of the children and the ecological harmony of the surroundings.

One of the standout features of New Shoots Ramarama is its seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing for year-round enjoyment regardless of weather conditions. The building boasts an impressive display of exposed LVL timber posts, beams, and trusses, exuding a sense of natural elegance. The high ceilings and polished concrete floors contribute to an atmosphere of spaciousness and contemporary urban style, enhancing the ambiance of the activity spaces as well as the office areas.

A significant architectural element of the center is the large plywood soffit, complemented by wrap-around timber decks, creating a harmonious link between the indoor activity spaces and the outdoor playground. Additionally, meticulous thought went into creating various shaded areas throughout the outdoor space, ensuring that children can enjoy the benefits of nature while remaining protected from the sun.

The New Shoots Ramarama childcare center stands as a testament to the fusion of thoughtful design, sustainability, and a child-centered approach. Nestled within the heart of the Hunua Views Residential Development, this exceptional facility enriches the lives of families in the vibrant Ramarama community, providing a nurturing environment for children to thrive and grow.
