Wired Scape

A playscape in a residential district built around the idea of forest and flowing water, with four climbable sculptural trees.

Wired Scape reads the residential courtyard as a landscape rather than a set of equipment. Its guiding idea, Forest and Flowing Water, produces four sculptural tree structures that can be climbed and linked by hanging bridges.

Underneath, a curving coloured ground pattern carries the flowing-water motif across the site and ties the separate structures into one continuous play surface.
