Interactive entertainment. Creating a place for the whole family to play and relax
Photo: RINO KOJIMA (This is the Lights.)
Overview | The Forest Lounge, a rest space on the first floor of the outlet mall, was renovated in April 2019. It projects worlds with the themes of "rainy forest" and "space." By touching the projected objects or moving the magnetic soft blocks, the world projected on the wall changes due to sensors. You can also make pictures drawn on an iPad appear. Since the idea is to enjoy the simple physical phenomenon of falling objects, we have deliberately not posted detailed instructions on how to use the devices, allowing children to play by thinking for themselves and using their senses. |

Issues/Themes | To create a play area and rest space that visitors, including local residents, will want to come to every day. A space that takes safety into consideration. |
Space Solution/Realization | After much discussion with the customer, we extracted the following conditions for the new space: "It should be different so that you don't get bored even if you come every day," and "It should be possible to take a relaxing break, and there should be activities that the whole family can enjoy." Based on these, we decided to create a rest space that incorporates interactive entertainment. To eliminate the rigidity of digital, we created original hand-drawn illustrations. With illustrations, movement, sound, and space, we were able to create an appealing facility that families will love. |
Design for Environment | As this is a playground for families, safety has been taken into consideration in all aspects of the design, including the materials, dimensions, weight of the soft blocks, etc. Safety has been further enhanced by setting up areas for different age groups and displaying signs. |
