Is it really a Hello Kitty style space dreamland for kids or the childhood imagined by adults? The design started from observing a social phenomenon "Childhood in shopping mall" and gives an outside-the-box solution. It is inspired by nature, the universe and hills. The "Universe" Zone frees a child’s consciousness, while the "Mountain" Zone frees a child’s body. It recalls the inspiration of nature and geometrical forms, to help children to develop their consciousness and bodies without reference to the common motifs that adults have created for them.
