Mineral Resources Childcare

Situated adjacent to Mineral Resources HQ in Osborne Park, our team was engaged by Mineral Resources to design, and project manage the delivery of the first Mineral Resources Childcare Facility — an initiative created to support the children of Mineral Resources employees.

Our vision for the project was to transform a 1980s office building into an aesthetically inviting modern childcare environment that balances functionality and is underpinned by a strong commitment to sustainability. In line with our guiding principles, our development team conducted a detailed feasibility assessment on the existing site structure to determine its suitability for reuse. This allowed us to retain the building’s embodied carbon, but required adhering to the original planning constraints.

Throughout the building, each space has been designed to foster child-led play, encouraging confidence, independence, and the development of social and motor skills. Outdoor play spaces feature unique carves out of the internal structure, framed with vertical batten screens along the façades.

Inside, large skylights flood the spaces with natural light, while a vibrant palette of colour, texture and light to inspire and engage young minds. Completed in 2024, the space provides a rich developmental environment for the children of Mineral Resources staff with an innovative space that aligns with the company’s values of care and sustainability.
