The Learning Tree, a Romford nursery by Delve Architects, uses natural materials and sustainable architecture principles to nurture young minds
The young practice, set up in 2017 by school friends Edward Martin and Alex Raher, was called upon to retrofit a former industrial building. This has now been transformed into a warm, welcoming learning space using durable design and natural materials - namely, timber, ply and rubber.
‘The Learning Tree represents everything that we’re passionate about when it comes to design and how that can contribute to the development and education of young children and the wellbeing of their families. The client Storal Learning were brilliant to work with and with them we’ve delivered something special and beautiful for families in the Romford area,’ says Delve’s director Alex Raher.
In the new Learning Tree nursery space, a central, light-filled open plan communal room, filled with toys and age-appropriate equipment, meets a kitchen, bathrooms, waiting area, office and an outdoor timber covered play area. Playful details, such as porthole windows and vibrant pops of colour, elevate the interior.
Delve Architects and Storal Learning’s collaboration was such a success that the client-architect team is now already deep into the development process of one more nursery facility - this time in Banbury, Oxfordshire - which is currently on site. §
