Austin Land

Austin Land is an indoor children's playground on the fifth floor of a department store in Taiwan. The 892.5 square meter space uses an open plan, so children can move freely between areas such as a shell sand pool, an art painting wall, a reading house, an engineering house and a large ball pool. A dream train connects the separate zones. Large surfaces in white and natural oak keep children clearly visible, which supports safety. The materials are stain resistant, and chamfered corners reduce the risk of injury.

Tick Tock

The design of Tick Tock Watch Gallery located in Yazd, Iran, in a small space with an emphasis on a simple, low-cost, and modern visual effect, was a special experience.
