    Little forest of play

    Creation of a playground in the Turjaško naselje neighbourhood

    Slovenia
    The story of Turjaško playground is the story of the transformation of an overgrown and abandoned area in the city's largest neighborhood, which was built without common areas for children and youngsters. The children's need for a place to play freely found its way first by cleaning up the area and then by bringing in some play equipment. The neighborhood argued with the local authorities with a clear need for a safely accessible public green open space and after a few years they were heard.

    Conversion of a listed courtyard house, as well as the extension by two residential buildings

    Germany

The residential house of a former four-sided farmstead dates from the late baroque period (mid-18th century) and was carefully renovated, as well as expanded with a circulation annex. To meet the structural requirements for day care and also the historical context, the spatial concept had to be rethought.

    Abacus

    France , France
    Abacus is a table composed of a powder-coated steel structure and natural or burnt solid oak tops. Abacus pushes conventions aside. The table tops glide and move freely along the structure without any constraints, leaving the user free to choose the layout. As the plates disappear, the structure reveals itself and becomes a graphic element that takes shape in space. From a dinner for two, to a family meal, the table is composed and broken down in a playful way.
