Carve imagined a small, vibrant village that is scaled down to a child’s size, designed to spark curiosity in both young and adults. From the outset, our team took a multi-age approach to the design, resulting in a one-of-a kind play village built from clusters of hexagonal plateaus and towers, where kids can explore and move from one tower to the next in a winding maze.

In 2020, Carve was asked to design a play area in the historical Tophane Park. The exceptional setting, including a blend of ancient and contemporary structures such as the Ottoman baroque-style building, the Ottoman-style Mahmud-Han fountain and the modern museum and mall, quickly captivated and challenged our attention to create a playful as well as distinctive design.

In looking for a sculptural form that is attractive for all age groups and at the same time serving as a meeting place, Carve designed an organically shaped sculpture that incorporates various play functions. By arranging the various functions in one object, the space around it is divided into three zones, redefining its surroundings. Photo: Marleen Beek.
The project is located in an existing locust forest at the ARANYA gold coast resort in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao. It is an outdoor playground & farm for children throughout the resort. The design proposal divides the site into two parts: a quiet meditation space in the forest and a joyful lively farm on the edge of the forest.
The starting point for Carve’s design was that we wanted children to be able to completely dive into their own world of imagination: stimulated by otherwordly shapes, colours and an unprecedented play experience. It should be a playground visible from afar, yet a world in its own right. This resulted in a playground that is truly one of a kind: Zorlu playground. Photo: Marleen Beek
For the first time in over 110 years, the security fences have been removed from the Sunset Heritage Precinct in Perth, Western Australia, and is open to the public. Once known as Sunset Hospital, the precinct is located atop a beautiful scarp overlooking the Swan River and is full of stories and character for local residents.

The Sweeney Playground redesign offers new life to the half-acre park, with a brightly colored synthetic surface stretched over a rippling topography of hillocks and valleys. Water jets triggered by children encourage interactive play on hot summer days. The permeable surface and infiltration basin allow for groundwater recharge during storm events.

Carve connects the three planned playzones by introducing an iconic ‘air bridge’, that is oriented in the opposite direction to the path system below. Because a large part of the playzone is elevated, as little space as possible is absorbed by the playzones, hence introducing an interesting interaction between the playing children and people who take a stroll underneath the object.
