Trinity First School Playground Shelter
A fun and vibrant playground shelter for young school children.
The existing playground shelter had deteriorated, particularly the roof structure which had suffered from water damage. WDA were appointed to design a new multifunctional shelter suitable for the needs of the school and pupils.
Fun, tactile & practical
Bench seating is formed from stone filled gabions, grouped to enable social interactions, and set at two heights to cater for developing children and adults alike. The shelter combines a sensory planter, open to the elements, created by the surrounding gabion seating.
A roof constructed from translucent polycarbonate coloured roof panels, creates a light, bright uplifting space, whilst maintaining the practical aspects of weather protection.
Green oak post are set off the ground forming a discrete shadow gap and reducing the risk of the post rotting.
