Планировочные решения
Площадь клуба поделена на игровую, учебную и бытовую зоны для организации чаепитий, ожидания и отдыха персонала. Нетипичная для детских центров цветовая гамма леденцовых оттенков, перекликается в декоре стен, арт-светильниках, мебели.
Формы и цвета подсказали уголки вселенной. Так, виншево-красная кухня это Марс, активная зона с горкой — Млечный путь, а загадочные спирали — лабиринт Кротовая нора.
Interior Design Concept
«To provide young children with leisure opportunities without leaving the residential complex» — this was the reason the developer included a children’s centre in the project’s infrastructure. Our task was to accommodate active and quiet zones, service rooms, and a vivid interior concept within a compact area.
As a result, the idea emerged for a space designed around the child’s developmental needs: sensory exploration, free play, and the formation of emotional intelligence. Here, every corner helps children immerse themselves in an atmosphere of adventure.
A true journey through the universe awaits every child here: they will be able to walk along the Milky Way, visit the brightest constellations, and encounter showers of meteors.
The designers took into account children’s need for new tactile experiences, using spray-like visual effects, light installations, and whimsical cosmic forms throughout the interior. The result is a space full of fun and discovery — children will be drawn to touch unusual textures, peek into a crater, or explore a mysterious labyrinth.
Space Art
Several unique AI-generated art objects were created for the project, supporting the theme of bold young space explorers.
Inspired by the idea of the boundless universe, the unusual illustrations transformed the play area into a space that is engaging for children of all ages. The art elements and activity zones are arranged with the perception of a child in mind: the average height of a three-year-old is 95 cm, which means children see and experience the world differently from adults.
Visual contact with art helps stimulate creative thinking and reduce anxiety in children.
Given the activity level of young children and the compact area of the centre, we selected durable materials and easy-to-maintain furniture. To ensure safety, sharp corners were excluded from the space.
Experimentation is important for a child, so the play environment includes elements of controlled risk: crawling through an opening in the wall, sliding swiftly down a tube, or hiding securely in a «mole burrow.» Secluded corners and lively interaction alike stimulate the development of neural connections.
Every element of the play areas supports the development of essential skills, from fine motor control to agility. Children create their own play scenarios, learn to take reasonable risks, and achieve their first small victories.
