Motivated by the benefits that interactions with tropical rainforests can offer, SĒN is designed to bring the essence of tropical rainforests into the playground for children to explore. Exposure to this habitat at an early age will initiate fond memories, which can strengthen the future generation’s affinity and respect towards nature.
Inspired by the structure of the rainforest, SĒN has its shelters at the Canopy and the main play zone at the Understory
Sitting at the observation deck, children can watch the central tree through a more abstract lens of the polyester shelter.
Each variation of the modular play structures is purposefully designed to benefit children’s motor and cognitive development in specific ways.
When the available space is more limited, these structures can stand alone while still offering the same enjoyable experience.
Each unit provides freedom for children to decide their own plays, creating a non-discriminatory space for children of all ages.
