Featured Project.
A new buzzing destination playground in the heart of the Wellington Botanic Garden.
The Botanic Garden playground has been a landmark in Wellington for many years, but the time has come to upgrade the space to be more inclusive and give it a fresh look.
The surrounding beehives and their role in revitalising local fauna and flora shaped the new playground’s bespoke design, which tells a story through play.
With features like a beehive tower and pollination station, children can immerse themselves in the wonders of nature.
Inspired by Māra hūpara, natural elements connect children to the environment, blending cultural heritage with the Botanic Garden’s commitment to conservation and education.
Project Case Studies
Social Wall.
Every playground tells a story.
Playgrounds reflect the communities they belong to. Through thoughtful design, they become spaces where people connect, explore, and create lasting memories.
Our approach brings these stories to life:
✨Custom themes: Designs inspired by local history, culture, or natural landscapes.
✨Inclusive layouts: Spaces for all ages and abilities, encouraging play and discovery.
✨Sustainable design: Locally sourced materials that enhance and complement their surroundings.
✨Every community deserves a playground that feels unique, welcoming, and full of life. Let’s make it happen.

Are your communities getting intentionally designed spaces or just children soakers?
Here’s how intentional design creates lasting impact:
Accessibility: Inclusive layouts, ramps, and liberty swings ensure every child can experience the joy of play.
Sensory Engagement: Water features, textured paths, and tactile play areas invite discovery, igniting curiosity for all.
Social Interaction: Open layouts and shared spaces encourage teamwork, collaboration, and meaningful connections.
When play spaces are designed for everyone, they become vibrant hubs where joy, adventure, and creativity thrive.
