Bespoke Playgrounds for Architects: The Design Process

Design:

Example of consultation sheet

Our 3D CAD designs, engineered to European standards with structural calculations, form the foundation of playground concepts. Compliant with European play safety standards (EN1176), our designs prioritise play value while staying true to the architect’s or landscape architect’s initial concept.

3D model conceptThe 3D models facilitate better visualisation, allowing us to iron out any safety concerns not apparent in 2D. Once the 3D design is finalised, we extrapolate 2D drawings for fabrication and final submission.

3rd Party Collaboration:

Working in collaboration with an independent play safety inspector is integral to our development process. Despite our familiarity with safety regulations, involving a third party ensures a thorough review. From desktop assessments to on-site inspections, this collaborative approach guarantees the highest safety standards.

Build:

The majority of our fabrications occur off-site in a workshop setting, ensuring a superior finish. Components are brought on-site in manageable modular pieces, facilitating low-impact construction—ideal for sensitive environments like schools. Our multidisciplinary team, equipped with specialised knowledge in play safety, efficiently installs bespoke playground equipment.
