RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We made a deep research on what are the interests of children in different age groups and made a child-safety environment. Our main goal was to create a space that will appeal to kids from 2 to 12 years old and that serves with its flexibility as a background for the various activities that happen every day there.
CHALLENGE: The overall theme was developed around the Jungle. Different areas were designed in terms of decorations to match their function and activities happening inside. We used areas such as Monkey Island (arts atelier), Crocodile Bay ( for small children) , Under the Stary skies (for the Library), etc.
