The brief
in their own words“[What the family asked for, in a sentence or two — how their kids play, and what the room had to do.]”
[The story of the room: what we saw on the first visit, the idea we landed on together, and one detail the kids chose themselves.]
Design decisions
Why it's built this way.
Layered Play in practice: every element answers to how these two children move, imagine, create and regulate.
- Move
The climbing wall wraps the corner
[Why: the older child climbs sideways more than up — so the route travels, and the younger one has low holds of their own.]
- Imagine
A hideaway at the top of the slide
[Why: both kids build forts every day. The arched nook gives that instinct a permanent home.]
- Create
Walls the kids helped paint
[Why: the leaf murals were drawn with the children, so the room feels like theirs from day one.]
Before & after
