Belleville Playground / BASE

BASE

In , , BASE has created  an environment for the imagination with their latest playground design.  Working with children and adults in different workshops, BASE was able to understand the users’ wishes and visions for the project.  ”Our work then consisted in synthetising and interpreting the public’s expectations to provide a spatial response both truthful and original,” explained the designers.

More images and more about the playground after the break.

BASE

The main element is a large playhouse which can be designed in several versions,”a tree-dwelling, a troglodyte, forest, etc.”  The playground also features a climbing course with different inclinations for different levels and different age groups.

BASE

Depending upon your imagination, this “magical mountain” can included a large pirate ship, a flying carpet, or perhaps become a medieval fort.  Whichever you image, the playground is sure to provide a great setting for any child’s play.

I went there, because it’s near my architecture school, and I became a kid once again, with my friends/studiomates; the only thing that disappointed us in this project was the scale, inappropriate with adults like us… well, nice “toboggan” though!
