This rooftop play space provides a nurturing environment for young children attending a therapeutic preschool. Designed to make the most of its compact 1,800-square-foot footprint, the space features dedicated zones for active, imaginary, free, and sensory play—supporting a range of developmental needs. Integrated planting, tactile materials, and age-appropriate equipment invite exploration, movement, and creativity, while the overall design fosters a sense of safety and calm for children and school staff.
