Our Friendly Design Recipe:

  1. Take the common playground and infuse mature aesthetics and functions to create a sophisticated space for us to play

  2. Leverage the wall as a symbolic architectural element of division and transform it to become an open-ended, social catalyst, joyful sculpture.

  3. Overlap functions and users for a more friendly impact

  4. Name it for even more friendly impact
