Why stop there? Why take it too far?Couple a cute moves with the white penetrating stair, the columns wrapping around et cetera. Fenestration is the key word in this project, clearly, yet it was not dealt with smartly. It was either too excessive as on the image on the right, or too minimal, as on the left. However, I can see the left one being arguable as the stairs climb in a larger pov, as will the window elevations. Children: probably love playing on the stairs, however dangerous. Would find much joy in being able to see their friends through a FAR LESS penetrated wall, creating instances. Its no fun, there's no space to hide behind the wall. By making so consistently porous, its become BORING.

We are architects?We create space where there is none, not add to the void. Bland, space less, motionless. On the other hand, it’d be a GREAT little place for a playground, fenestration at the corners are well sized, great for hiding behind but having a view to the rest of the world(playground). Poke a stick through the holes, say they're a gun, and you got a fort!

Not badNice clear spatial moves. Excellent use of material: nice balance between transparent, semi-transparent and solid. Probably would suck to be in there without AC in the summer, but whatever. My favorite spot as a kid: the little nook between the wood slats and the concrete floor slab. Sadly it’s probably open to below in reality. I guess it’s a good free-plan for all children activity

Child Prodigies?Firstly, kids can’t even begin to understand origami, much less pronounce it. Ask them to make a paper airplane and they wont make a stealth bomber for you. A space, perhaps, but a boring one that catches ones attention for half a second till they realize they’ve been shafted. Oh fantastic, a patterned wall of…nothing, a kid will see that merely as a wall, no more. I thought origami was about folding? Holy cow, if ever an opportunity to express folding in another application than paper its ARCHITECTURE. Gosh

ApplaudWell executed, well designed, thoroughly thought out to almost every detail. Creating beautiful and fun spaces for outsiders and children. Involves exercise (health), relationships (mind), and a variety of spaces (freedom of use). A great place to fall in love AND play connect four.

One thing, brick is rough, kids skin is fragile, maybe soften the edges on tight brick corners

I want this in my backyard

Lets play D&DNice spaces, bad choice of materials. Not enough variety in materials has turned nice spatial moves into a flat project. Can’t say much more. I feel like im a prisoner in a dank cell, trapped to live a dark cold environment

Whoa, 80’s flashbackFirstly, I felt like I was encountering some Miami-based piece of 80’s foul architecture. The 80’s are not a good era of design to work from. Bad hair, ugly cars, terrible clothing, abysmal architecture. Umm, boring choice of space. Terrible material choice. I’m walking through a cheap Egyptian rip-off and on one side of me is a bathroom, and the other something that has nothing to do with anything. A dark colored curvy wall against an orthogonal bright project. Yeck >:P

Here I am!Calling for attention. Distracting lack of good space with funky, eye catching stuff. The only two spatial opportunities are being neglected by bad material choices. One being the stairs, housed by a solid wall that makes me feel like I want to do nothing but leave, back into the open world (I am only two feet tall at this point in life of course). The other space being the one under a piece of glass that would boil me in the summer. Step one would be to make some overhead conditions. Slide will become cliché after a while.

Its just kinda thereI dunno, just a corner condition with a ramp. Might as well not even go through the trouble of removing the bricks on the tall wall since it doesn’t make the slightest difference. An attempt to have creative masonry has led to a big waste of time. It’s like detailing a door in a floorplan when what you really should be doing is looking at the whole projects design! Yawn

Kids like ramps though, roll a ball, a car
