Larapinta Child Care

Larapinta, Alice Springs

LA3 has been engaged as the Landscape Architect for the new Larapinta’s Child and Family Care facility in Alice Springs. The design involved several considerations in respect to the indigenous community and existing child care centre. The design solutions included local plantings, materials and forms around a nature play theme. A central meeting space serves as a gathering area for children, staff and parents while spaces are divide into different age groups to facilitate safe, passive and active play. The entire landscape and entry areas has artwork installations, and waterplay is a dominant feature. LA3 provided concept through to detailed design and visited Alice Springs on several occasions.
