With its own housing stock of around 60,000 apartments, the Berlin-based housing association HOWOGE is one of the ten largest landlords in Germany. For more than 25 years, the company has stood for sustainable inventory development, innovative housing concepts, and social engagement at various locations in Berlin. In the course of the periodic repair of the fa\u00e7ade of a block of flats with 422 apartments in Berlin’s Hohensch\u00f6nhausen district, the outdoor area was also redesigned. A varied children’s playground was created in the courtyard of the building complex. Due to the public accessibility of the farm, the play area not only benefits the immediate residents but also offers the entire living environment \u2013 including adjoining day-care centres \u2013 an exciting destination for play and movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to me to have a playground that caters to the needs of all ages\u201d, said Oliver Pohlann, Landscape Architect in charge and Project Manager of Landscaping at HOWOGE. \u201cBoth the very young children and the older ones in adolescence should get their money’s worth.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Consequently, the playground consists of play equipment with different requirements. At the heart of the toddler area is the\u00a0Roo M.03<\/a>\u00a0playhouse of the\u00a0Spooky Rookies<\/a>\u00a0series, which is specifically geared to the needs of toddlers for early psychomotor and social development. For example, the mud tables in the lower part of the playhouse invite you to role-play, which promotes language and social skills in a playful way. An ascent ramp makes it possible to reach the upper area of the house before descending the child-friendly slide \u2013 a form of exercise that has a positive effect on spatial perception and improved balance and coordination skills of small children.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The highlight of the play area for the \u201cbig ones\u201d is a combination of the wooden playhouses Woodville, in which two different \u201cshacks\u201d share a common post. The larger of the two shacks is equipped with a transitional net, which is combined with an access net. The two shacks are connected through a balcony that can be climbed via a rope ladder or using the rocking-plate ascent. \u201cThe promotion possibilities are deliberately chosen so that they offer different levels of difficulty and also offer an exciting challenge for older children\u201d, says Pohlann. \u201cEven when choosing colours, it was important to me that the ropes, balls, clamps and roofs look as interesting and appealing as possible. At the same time, of course, the play equipment should fit in colour with the new fa\u00e7ade design of the adjoining apartment blocks.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Responsible for the development of Woodville at the Berliner Seilfabrik is Katharina Hilger, engineer of the Berliner Creative Center:\u00a0\u201cMy personal highlight of the Woodville playground equipment is the constructive and elegant wood protection. Both from above and from below, the wood is protected by other materials. The elevation is part of the design and the round logs do not end in the usual metal post shoes. In addition, I am pleased about the hybrid character of individual components. This means that the parts that are subject to heavy loads when playing do not connect directly to the wood, but to stainless steel pipes, which are much more stable and resistant \u2013 and thus contribute to the longevity of playground equipment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Rounding out the playground are two play points of the Berliner product group\u00a0URBAN DESIGN<\/a>. The double swing\u00a0Swingo.2.4<\/a>\u00a0allows two children to swing at the same time and was set for Pohlann from the beginning:\u00a0\u201cRocking is important for a playground, it always works!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

In addition to its stylish organic design, the rocker\u00a0Abakus<\/a>\u00a0impresses with three sliding weight balls. Depending on the weight ratio of the users, these can be shifted so that people of different weights can be balanced and swung together. At the same time, the play point illustrates essential physical relationships in terms of gravity and balance. Here the children have the opportunity to get in contact with the scientific laws in a playful way.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\u201cNot only the tenants of the adjoining apartments and the surrounding kindergartens are more than satisfied with the redesign of the playground, but also incidentally passing bypassers are now more often in the courtyard on the Dierhagener road\u201d, says Oliver Pohlann. HOWOGE has thus lived up to its motto \u201cmore than usual\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
