The Children's Playground in the Takino Hillside Park in Japan borrows ideas and images from nature to unite a rich formal landscape with an indulgent sensory experience.
The project sought to create a place where children could play freely in the natural environment. The idea of Nature Playground was thus fundamental to the design brief. Keeping in mind the limited experience of children in contemporary society when faced with wild environs, the design attempts to adjust them to play in the forest gradually along a five stage program. The Nature Playground was planned as the first stage. The space was designed to release children from the mundane urban jungle into the natural habitat, calling for an awakening of their senses before entering the forest.
Varied lighting and sound conditions create a rich sensory experience for the children.

Another stage of the playground coined the 'nests of Living things' was inspired by images of built shelters found in nature These were developed to create an adventurous and innovative arena, playing with the children's sense of scale. Most of the facilities are enveloped in green cover and soil to unify with the surroundings.
