Fantastic Forest (Nauka Residential Complex)

The concept is built on the idea of a fantastic forest, where the leading character is the “big fish” – a multifunctional children’s play complex with climbing equipment, a slide, swings, nets and ropes.

Beyond the courtyard gates – a polygonal art object: a bear. The bear figure casts a fishing line and “catches” the fish. A glowing LED strip connects the bear art object with the children’s play complex. Visitors to the courtyard will not see it right away, but they will catch on to the game — the connected story that the courtyard’s architecture tells.

Fairy-tale characters appear unexpectedly all across the residential complex. The project’s author has drawn up a map of the “fairy-tale route”. Residents are invited to play a game and find every fairy-tale location on the map.

At the center of the courtyard, a multi-purpose sports ground is proposed. Around it – hills surfaced with rubber crumb. Pull-up bars and small rest areas for adults are also proposed. On the opposite side, tiered seating for relaxing is arranged. A children’s zone with climbing elements is designed on the hills.
