The Senja Woods playground features an elevated climbing parkour and play equipment, surrounded by trees. The structure is positioned among the trees and includes four cocoon pods, which serve as both crossing points for the elevated play area and spots for lounging and enjoying the view, all at a height of nearly five meters above ground level. It's an exciting play area for energetic children.
01
Design & Inspiration
With its size and contrasting colour, this immensely large play object blends in naturally with its surroundings and captures attention from a distance. It also contains a diverse range of play elements inside its pods for children to enjoy.
Inspiration
This playground is cocoon-shaped pods that are suspended between the trees, providing a unique play experience for children. These pods serve as elevated play areas, lounging spots, and lookout points, all while blending in with the surrounding nature. The natural setting and organic shapes of the pods inspire exploration, imagination, and physical activity while providing a sense of tranquillity and security within the cosy cocoons.
Proposed play elements
Play elements in nature trails mimic natural properties, such as tree structures and natural textures, to facilitate imaginative play that fosters a connection with nature.
Design mood
The design mood of a cocoon-shaped playground is one that blends in with its natural surroundings, offering a serene and immersive play experience. The cocoon shapes of the pods provide a sense of coziness and security, inviting children to engage in imaginative play.

Finished product
The playscape imitates the setting of a nature trail, allowing residents to experience the benefits of nature's verdant surroundings and stroll across a timber bridge as if it were a hiking trail right in their neighborhood.
Volume Play Set
The climbing tunnels connect the cocoons and form a spiral shape on both ends. The curl can be accessed from multiple points, and its varying heights make it appealing to children of all ages. Elevating the entire structure helps reduce its footprint, creating ample space for kids to run around underneath.
