These pages:Having an outdoor
area was a big attraction for
locating Cosmokids child centre
here. As well as a range of play
facilities and surfaces, there’s
a substantial hanging garden to
soften the space. The perimeter
black steel framework supports a
huge video screen on the outside
of the building, yet it’s still
possible to have a filtered view
through this from the play area.
