the children’s cooperative nursey school

studioMLA Architects provided conceptual design for The Children’s Cooperative Nursery School’s outdoor playscape. Working closely with staff and parents, studioMLA Architects developed a plan that transformed the School’s existing space by providing multi-sensory play opportunities in a natural setting.

Located in Newton, MA, its features include a natural lawn play hill, an embankment slide, tree stumps for seating and stepping stumps, a water pump with water troughs, and an enclosed sand area with seating and storage.
