Why Build An Architectural Monument?

If you are planning to build a new building or work on renovations, you will be responsible for working with an architect to create your facility. As you are working on the design, give some thought to how much of your budget you want to allocate to the outside of the building. Children need buildings that are residential and homelike in design, not architectural monuments. Curved walls and glass facades look great in a model but do little to support children's play and development when built.

Instead save your money for on pleasing indoor environments that are functional, suitable, homelike and made of study construction materials. Interior surfacing needs to be heavy duty so that it will withstand wear and tear as well as bleach solution used for cleaning surfaces. Durable and sturdy interior finishes are important in the indoor environment.
