Play areas represent purposeful design interventions that create safe, engaging environments for children's physical activity and imaginative play. These projects range from intimate garden spaces to large-scale public parks, each addressing specific community needs and site conditions.

The community explores how play spaces integrate with natural landscapes, urban neighborhoods, and cultural contexts. Projects demonstrate approaches including pavilion structures in parks, playgrounds woven through agricultural land, rooftop installations, and sensory gardens designed for inclusive play experiences.

Nutrogarten

Children are the most sensitive and impressionable age group in society. In this regard, the environment should be designed to be the best teacher for children and provide conditions that increase the children’s creativity. This project aims to escalate children's creativity with curiosity as a means to discover and experience the environment around them.

Querencia

Querencia is a noun, meaning "a place from which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self." When the children first met life, an abstract environment was created in which the children became stronger and felt at home by the redefinition of the elements that make up the space.
