DESIGN NAME: Fun House
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Children's play house
INSPIRATION: This is a special design in a traditional and old three-floor house designed to provide children to play and learn. This area is lack of playing places, the nearest park also needs to walk for nearly 20 minutes before arriving, and the street full of fast and huge cars. Due to there are no places near the house where children can run freely and parents can rest assured, they decided to buy the neighbor house to rebuild for their children. Prepare a fun house for children to grow and learn with natural and healthy materials.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A house to keep children's interests and cultivate creativity, searching their imagination in the play spaces. This is a 40 years-old house building. The client bought it and found us to transform it, making a fun center to grow up with his children. This project's concept was HOME, designed with natural materials ,soft colors and lots of parent-child interactive spaces. We recreated a new wood stair, two small houses and two slides, making numbers of small paradises for children to learn.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: In the beginning, the client told us that he want to make a play house for his children, but he need to put his cars into the building. Because The building has a concrete stair at the middle of it, we need to rebuild a new stair for this purpose. In the conversation, we discussed lots of detail like material, poison problems, children's scale and safety. Decided to make a new natural stair for children to use and making home feel warmer.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2017 in Chaiyi, Taiwan and finished in January 2018 in Chaiyi, Taiwan
