Little Earth

CHALLENGE

I was tasked in partnership with the Little Earth Team to come up with a new concept for a pre school. Design Their Corporate Identity, website and some aspects of their interior and architecture.

INSIGHT

Research show that children who have direct access to nature are better learners. Exposure to nature has been shown to reduce stress and increase attention spans.

When a child is out in nature, all the senses get activated. He is immersed in something bigger than himself, rather than focusing narrowly on one thing, such as a computer screen. He’s seeing, hearing, touching, even tasting. Out in nature, a child’s brain has the chance to rejuvenate and enhances their focus and attention in the class room.

IDEA

With the slogan “Where Little is Great” we designed a Pre-school with muted pastel colours and peaceful surroundings that creates a sense of calmness and security. With nature as the main focus, we used natural design element from the logo and website right through to the physical materials used in the school.

The building’s eco friendly design uses natural light to save energy. The design includes indoor play areas and a unique outdoor play experience. Further features are an Eco Barn, an outdoor classroom and a kitchen garden.
