The rubberized floor design brings comfort and properly structured colors to guide users within the space, delimiting the various options for playing. The dark blue color of the floor directs the flow of children from the entrances to the toys; light blue defines the “breathing” and living areas; and the orange spots highlight the points where the main toys are, such as a winding rope circuit, a forest of logs, geodesy, roundabout, seesaw, and swing.

With more than a thousand square meters, the proposal offers a multicolored and visually stimulating space, seeking to encourage interaction and thus allowing the knowledge of the self, the other, and we, being, therefore, an instrument for the mental and physical well-being of the children.
