Project: Learning Through Nature Play

• Silver Award - Commercial Design (Educational)

Design Brief:

The brief for this project was to produce a design that encapsulated and balanced outdoor learning with areas for quiet, natural, creative, active, and stimulating play opportunities, whilst blending a sense of place for both child and Educator.

It was important the outdoor play space was aesthetically pleasing, safe, flexible, and functional, taking into consideration environmentally sustainable material choices whilst supporting the child’s explorative, emotional, physical, social, and cognitive well-being.

Judges’ Comments:

The design was judged to be a successful rejuvenation of the space. In addition to engaging play equipment, the use of logs, stones and climbing surfaces provide an organic space amidst plants with textural variation, and deciduous trees.
