The main concept of the scheme is to encourage children to explore and learn through playing. A lot of parents might like to set a boundary to their kids, which they can do or which can't. From my perspective, the way to build up their kids' confidence will be to explore and try.
The design is focused on the sense of the space used and the expression of spatial perspectives on varied floors.
I have deliberately crafted out parts of ceilings to create a void. Indeed it provides spaciousness to the building, which creates a lot of sharing space. It expresses the idea of gathering and the sense of being in endless nature. The settings of the space have reinforced the hierarchy that different ages of people doing things, which like a game that they need to defeat the barriers. It encourages kids to aim and challenge various highness of adventures. This will be an education method that merges with the physical facilities (activities) to train and develop youth wellbeing, confidence and ambition.
