If you want to do something nice for a child, give them an environment where they can touch things as much as they want

PHILOSOPHYThe design intent of early skyscrapers was to create a “City within a City.” Does it have a space for children for a family to survive?

Evolution of skyscraper Oneofthefirstskyscraperin1960’sisMarinaCityinChicago.TheconceptforMarinaCitywas“CitywithinaCity.”Thismixed-usedbuildingincludefacilitiessuchasatheatre,gym,swimmingpool,icerink,bowlingalley,restaurantandcommercialstores.Therefore,peoplewholiveinthebuildingdon’thavetogoout.However,allofthesefacilitiesaretargetedonlyforadults,andthereisnospaceforchildren.Askyscraperneedstobechild-friendlyinordertoaccomplishthegoalof“CitywithinaCity.“

+ AQUA RESIDENTS

The skyful child care is open until midnight specially for the Radisson blu hotel guests. The guests can leave their children with a baby sitter to tend to their business or their friend’s wedding.

Aqua residents do not have to drive to a child care center to drop/pick up their children. The skyful child care will bring the aqua tower residents’ relationship closer by hosting family activities in the building.
