Elements such as sandstone, wooden stumps and poles, and bright, airy windows designed to encourage interactivity from the children who will spend their days here.<\/p>\n

Harbord Diggers has been a mainstay of the Northern Beaches community since it opened its doors as a beach hut club for returned veterans in 1930. Ten years ago, the club recognised that it would have to reimagine its\u00a0place in the community to remain a relevant social enterprise. The redevelopment has been a major construction project in Freshwater over the last two years and the planned precinct will include cafes, restaurants, fitness and aquatic areas, and the childcare facility.<\/p>\n

The Liebke Project\u2019s design has thoughtfully integrated a number of innovative and sustainable elements to maximise the seaside location and be environmentally conscious.<\/p>\n

“Our eco footprint was at the forefront of our minds before we even began planning,\u201d Sally explains.\u00a0 \u201cWe have designed indoor learning environments that access natural lighting through light wells and a trafficable skylight, to create lighting zones that allow us to switch off and enjoy the natural light whenever possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The space features louvres and window vents that allow a free flow of sea breeze to reduce reliance on air-conditioning. In keeping with the philosophies of the Explore & Develop group, which promote learning through play, the outdoor learning spaces are enriched with raw elements such as plants, timber, stone and tree stumps, so the children feel very much immersed in a natural environment.<\/p>\n

It has been the outside architecture that Ben and Sally are most proud of. The outdoor learning spaces are enriched with raw elements such as plants, timber, stone and tree stumps, so the children can play and explore the many textures in a natural outdoor environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving three very active kids of our own, the playgrounds were something that we were both really excited to create,\u201d says Ben. \u201cWorking alongside the landscaping team, we now have a beautiful, natural and engaging space to be in \u2013 our kids love it, so I am sure others will too\u201d<\/p>\n

This is their first major professional gig as a husband-and-wife team and they can\u2019t wait to finally be able to open their doors to their own community and share this labour of love.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3829″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” el_class=”full-width” css=”.vc_custom_1531723116840{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3836″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” el_class=”full-width” css=”.vc_custom_1531723134644{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1507815749806{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3833″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” el_class=”full-width” css=”.vc_custom_1531723160086{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3832″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” el_class=”full-width” css=”.vc_custom_1531723173766{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1507815749806{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
