Playground for a Housing Association

In the course of the periodic repair of the façade of a block of flats with 422 apartments in Berlin's Hohenschönhausen district, the outdoor area was also redesigned. A varied children's playground was created in the courtyard of the building complex.

At the heart of the toddler area is the "Roo M.03" playhouse of the "Spooky Rookies" series, which is specifically geared to the needs of toddlers under the age of 3 for early psychomotor and social development.

The highlight of the play area for the "big ones" is a combination of the wooden playhouses "Woodville", in which two different "shacks" share a common post. The larger of the two shacks is equipped with a transitional net, that is combined with an access net.

Responsible for the development of "Woodville" at Berliner Seilfabrik is Katharina Hilger, engineer of the Berliner Creative Center: "My personal highlight of the Woodville playground equipment is the constructive and elegant wood protection. Both from above and from below, the wood is protected by other materials."

Rounding out the playground are two play points of the URBAN DESIGN product group. The double swing "Swingo.2.4" allows two children to swing at the same time and was set for the responsible architect Oliver Pohlann from the beginning: "Rocking is important for a playground, it always works!"
