Nido Early School’s latest early learning centre is a contemporary childcare facility located in Hawthorn East, one of Melbourne’s prestigious inner suburbs. This unique project, expertly designed by John Kachami of Vantage Architecture, involved the contemporary yet sensitive adaptive reuse and extension of a heritage-listed Queen Anne villa. LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB® and CUSTOM BLUE ORB® cladding features on the entire roof, providing a beautiful modern look that harmonises with the heritage look of the villa.
