Toddler's Den, AIS
A curve built to be climbed, crawled over, touched and explored endlessly.
Toddler’s Den was designed as a workshop space for the youngest explorers. This fluid, organic structure draws children into its curves, reflecting their innate playfulness and curiosity at every turn. The form is a seamless landscape, rising and dipping into mounds that kids can scale, run over, and claim as their own. Designed using parametric modelling, the structure was fabricated off-site, piece by piece. An exposed skeleton of pre-bent metal sections within holds everything together - raw, proud and honest in its process. The topography is created by wrapping bent metal sheets, layered with insulation and IPS; keeping this cool while holding the weight of joy in motion.
