Austin Land
Playground for Er-Si Interior Design
Austin, full of curiosity and adventurous spirit, has made its dreamland for every child. In every corner, there is the imagery of arcs that represents the joyful energy generated by children's playfulness. Meanwhile, the natural lighting makes the space full of vitality. The designer used circle and infinity as concepts in every corner. The space is less right-angled and more rounded and harmonious. Austin drives a small train along the way to collect joyful energy in the ball pool, waiting for the day when the spacecraft is fixed.

Unique Properties
This project is a children's amusement space. In the background setting, there are many elements, such as joyful energy, spacecraft, the mascot Austin, etc. And the most important value is to 'create a playground for children'. When the background color is single, the human silhouette will become clear. This design can reduce the possibility of danger among children playing. The Dream Train symbolizes that Austin can drive the Dream Train to collect joyful energy. This dream train can make each independent area in series.

Production Technology
Building materials: woven carpet, high-density foam, artificial lawn, iron, Benjamin Moore wear-resistant paint, wood flooring, terrazzo, wood grain veneer, mirrors, lighting, wallpaper, etc. The large color blocks on the facade are pure white and natural oak. When the area is transformed, high saturation and colorful colors meet the visual effect of children. Moreover, the materials used in this project are stain-resistant, and the chamfered corners can prevent children from collisions and injury.
Design Challenge
Many children's playgrounds make each space a separate play space, but this project turns each space into an open plan, allowing children to be free from the confines of each play facility. At the same time, the designer deliberately kept large floor-to-ceiling windows. However, because the view outside the windows does not match the fictional story of Austin Land, only the upper part of the window is kept as a part of Austin Land through the placement of cabinets.
Project Duration
The project finished in February 2021 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The children's playground has many details to meet the children's delight. The designer tailors the play facilities for each child with the idea of putting herself in their shoes, including engineering houses, shell sand pools, art painting walls, and reading areas. Each area is unlimited, so children can use the equipment and space freely.
Research
Many elements related to Austin can be seen in space, including joyful energy and spacecraft. Moreover, the light-colored environment makes children have the most vivid role in the space. This project is focusing on play with no limits. The children have the right to choose how to play by themselves, and the facilities are no longer just to fill the space but can be integrated into the interior and become one of the natural and spontaneous designs. In addition, the designer preserves the light from the windows and integrates the sunlight into the context.
Inspiration
Austin from outer space is a mascot curious about all kinds of things, and the spacecraft accidentally landed on Earth. Because it needs 'joyful energy' to repair the spacecraft, it built a playground and invited parents and children to play with it to help it fix the spacecraft on the way home. This project features the Austin background presentation. As for the function, the designer had to consider the walking route and habits of adults and children.
