Inspirational Play Spaces for Children
We design and build inspirational play spaces that involve children in the world around them. Places for climbing, balancing, sitting, chatting, performing, making and exploring - for just being natural. A flow of spaces for imaginations in a whole environment that, like nature, is a web of interlinking spaces and parts.
Working with nature
Children don’t often play in straight lines, and nature doesn’t build with them. Nor do we. From a mound of earth, to a warp in a log, we work with the elements of the design as nature provides them.
> Our completed projects
Involving children
This is their space, and we actively involve children in the design of it. Our workshops and 'no-limits' group model-making sessions allow their ideas to flow into the final structure.
> Our ethos
Sustaining play
The common/generic play areas of steel, plastic and dog fences leave little scope for imaginative play or for the environment. We believe that play structures can be exciting AND sustainable too.
