Primrose Schools is a national franchise of private, accredited early education and care schools. The fitout of this location in Center City Philadelphia challenged us to transform mixed-use space on the first and second floors of an urban office tower into a cohesive, welcoming, and safe learning space for young children. Our design compensates for the lack of outdoor space by taking full advantage of the office tower’s large windows and by providing an indoor playground, or “motor room,” where the children can run, climb, and bike on a safe surface.
