nursery and pre-school where sculptural minimalism meets a fearless color palette,

Dominique Coulon & Associés’ Multi-Childcare Crèche

Straddling the edge of Illzach, a small town near Mulhouse in north-eastern France, Dominique Coulon & Associés has delivered a 705 m² nursery and pre-school that proves early-years architecture can be as playful as its occupants. Serving 50 children aged ten weeks to three years, the Multi-Childcare Crèche pairs sculptural minimalism with a fearless color strategy, transforming a modest corner site into a civic landmark.

I pulled this article from my Dezeen (https://www.dezeen.com/) newsletter.  You can view the entire article here (https://www.dezeen.com/2025/05/19/multi-childcare-creche-dominique-coulon-associes/)

My New Color Obsession.

Color Blocking in France

I was inspired to share my thoughts on the work because I am in love with the soft, pastel colors and how they play against the vibrant red.

It is truly a feast for the eyes.  Enjoy!
