Ledroit Pierret Polet has opened a nursery in Liège that draws on its unique urban location to explore the relationship between the private and public spheres in spaces dedicated to children. The project places architecture at the forefront, using its design as a means of bridging the gap between the private and the public.

In late May 2021, the Brussels-based firm Ledroit Pierret Polet (LPP) opened a 42-place public nursery, designed for Place Sainte-Walburge in Liège. From the car park, one can glimpse inside an architect holding a handover meeting with the main contractor Batitec and representatives from the City of Liège. It is a moving scene: just a few hours marking the conclusion of a five-year process during which numerous stakeholders have come together and many bricks have been laid.
