Umbraculum and garden for children's playgrounds

Conceived as a succession of different spaces dedicated to play (under the overhang, in the pergola, the old pavilion, the courtyard), it is nevertheless perceived as a single body. Each spatial moment is associated with a modification of the place set up for the game (a rubber mountain, a sandy beach, drawings on the ground or games with the structure) and a transformation of the bodily structure of the umbraculum, thus modelling its formal variation.

Meeting the regulatory requirement to maintain 3m distance to the southern boundary (this is not parallel to the existing pavilion) gave us the opportunity to slightly curve the shape of the new pavilion. We tried to create a large, airy and fresh playroom.

Aware of the importance of colour in children's development, we use it as a tool to create a stimulating and balanced atmosphere, making the architecture a serene and lively setting for children's happy play.

Part of our work consisted of fitting out the newly allocated land as a play area and being able to connect the main level of the existing playground (+602.80) with the elevation of Monte Veleta street and that of the public park (+598.20). Extending the horizontal level of the playground as much as possible would make it easy to visually control the children's play, integrating all the buildings and outdoor spaces, but with the difficulty of the steep slope of the terrain.
