Description

With a Kuala Lumpur based pre-school, we have co-design and co-constructed their underutilized outdoor spaces into multiple-use areas. The outdoor spaces now stimulate these young learners broadly, to grow, learn and flourish through free outdoor play.

Phase #1 : Monday on wheels! Painting a simple circuit on the parkingspace,. Later additions will be: DIY cardboard kiosks and gasstation , and a bamboo tunnel

Phase #2: from a boring terrace to play heaven: we redesigned the toddlers outoor area, by reusing the existing structures we have added playful stairs with a broad slide, a kiosk, a sandpit with counter, a den-building corner.

Phase #3: in sept ’26 we will add a circular path through nature (shrubs, plants and fruittrees)
