Project Description

A passing girl looked up longingly and asked if she was allowed to go play in that “Sky Playground”. She named and defined this project - Sky Playground is an enticement towards the school and an invitation to play. The playground complements the existing building and defines this prominent urban corner while providing spaces with intimacy at a child’s own scale. The hard wearing materials are artistically woven into a place to play, think and dream. Testimonial from Cathedral Grammar: "You've taken the rough concept we had and turned it into a magnificent reality that perfectly meets the brief for corner site wow factor, engaging and creative play structure and fit with the existing building. Thanks so much for making this happen! I can confidently say that we would not have got there without you."
