Kidsland, Larissa
A new attraction for families with little kids has been designed in a shopping mall. It is a revival of a train play set. Suitable spaces with appropriate materials were proposed, taking into consideration even the younger children. The ceiling is a series of fabric fins that hang in patterns to create an illusion of the sky with clouds. Lights are situated between the fabric fins. The floor is a valley with a curving pathway that leads over hills and a pond. The columns are camouflaged as trees with branches leading into the clouds. Some of the trees hold tree-houses and are actually slides and castles. The playground is divided into zones with different activities for different ages. Siting areas are organised between the activities for the parents to relax while the children play, and to accomodate parties and gatherings. The concept was to create a magical place that excites children and parents alike while inciting children’s creativity and imagination.

This project refers to the design of a ground floor private residence with surrounding fencing, in the farm area of Epanomi (municipality of Thermaikos) which has a total area of 11557.50 sq.m. The ground floor house has been designed and developed based on the topographical details of the area . The building has visual engravings on the southwest, its entrance is located on the northeast and evolves around a outdoor living room. More specifically, the exterior seating area consists of a semi-outdoor area with a pergola, which includes the entrance to the house.
The main living spaces are located in the northwest part of the property. There is the kitchen with the dining room and the living room, as well as two bedrooms and a laundry space. To the southeast there are three guest bedrooms, one with a private bathroom and two with a shared one.
The external staircase located on the main patio leads to an outdoor seating area, which is designed on the roof, with a pergola. On the exterior space of the building one more pergola creates a shading system that serves the outdoor parking space. The outdoor space also hosts a hot tub, in connection to the master bedroom.
The central and connecting element of the composition is the atrium, from which there is access to the all the interior spaces. The design offers privacy where it is needed with large openings to the surrounding view.
