A concourse, a store floor and a dealership showroom all run the play area from opening to closing, with a new set of children every few minutes and none of them familiar with it. Corners, edges, hinges, counters and steps take that wear, so they are drawn as replaceable parts rather than built into the structure.
Other buyer types are on the commercial page.
Nobody is rostered to watch a retail kids play zone. The parent is looking at a car or a fitting-room mirror, and staff are working. So the layout has to do the supervising: a person at the sales desk or walking the concourse should see every part of the area without moving.
A car dealership kids area sits between the waiting seats and the cars, which is the hardest sightline of the three. Test arrangements in the playground designer first.
The argument is simple, and we will not dress it in numbers we cannot show you. A child who is occupied stays, and the adult with that child stays too. A parent who can see their child from the desk finishes the conversation with the salesperson instead of cutting it short.
What we can control is whether the area is used or walked past: where it sits relative to the entrance, whether it reads as a small street rather than a padded pen, and whether it still looks new a year in. Walk installed rooms in the 360 degree virtual showroom.
Retail cleaning runs on a cycle: a quick pass during trading, a full clean after closing, a deeper one weekly. Tell us that cycle and which products your contractor uses. Finishes are water-based and safety data sheets are available, which is the document a contractor asks for before touching new surfaces.
Design for the clean you will actually do. Flat tops, reachable corners and doors that lift off keep the evening pass short, and a short pass is the one that keeps happening.
In a mall you are a tenant and a play area is a fit-out item, reviewed by the management office before it lands. Send your fit-out manual with the plan and we design inside it, including free-standing units where the lease restricts fixing.
Those supplier documents download from the certified supply chain page.
A trading floor cannot also be a work site, so installation happens overnight, before opening or on a closed day. Units are handcrafted in our own workshop, delivered to your door at one all-inclusive price, with optional installation in the US by our own team. Typical production plus delivery runs 8 to 16 weeks — a range to plan backwards from, not a promise.
Send those through the quote form and we come back with a layout and a free 3D view.
Yes. When a commercial lease or floor warranty prohibits anchoring, we design free-standing structures weighted and balanced to stay in place without floor fixings. Send us your tenant fit-out manual and floor plan, and we review the load requirements and spatial parameters before drafting the layout. We also supply the documentation mall property managers request, including material declarations for EPA TSCA Title VI and CARB Phase 2, finish safety data sheets, and layout drawings showing that the setup is designed with reference to ASTM F1487 and CPSC Publication 325 guidelines while preserving clear accessible pathways.
We configure every layout around clear sightlines from your active service desks and showroom floor. We position low play counters and tables in the middle of the space and place taller walls or roofed structures flat against existing perimeter walls or structural columns. Shop fronts face outward toward the room so children remain in full view rather than tucked into enclosed hiding spaces. We also establish a single entry and exit point directed toward your staff stations, maintaining an unobstructed buffer lane around the perimeter for strollers, mobility equipment, and routine showroom traffic.
Yes. Because active commercial floors cannot operate as active build sites, our installation crew works overnight, before opening, or during scheduled closed days. We deliver directly to your address at one all-inclusive price, which means delivery logistics are managed before our team arrives on site. The components arrive pre-assembled from our workshop in modular sections, allowing the installation team to position, secure, and detail the area cleanly and hand it over ready for use before your doors open for morning business.
We build high-contact elements as independent modular parts rather than permanent structural fixtures. When continuous daily use wears down a hinge, counter edge, step, or door panel, you can unbolt and swap that specific piece without dismantling the surrounding playhouse. We supply matching replacement parts built directly from your original layout drawings. All wooden surfaces use water-based finishes selected for regular wiping cycles, and we provide safety data sheets so your custodial contractors can verify compatibility with their standard commercial cleaning products.
A shopping centre or a dealership showroom runs all day, in front of an audience that did not come for the play area. The structures we build for these spaces are free-standing, so nothing is fixed to the landlord’s slab or walls and the unit can be relocated at the end of a lease. Surfaces are specified to be wiped down between cleans rather than laundered. Sightlines matter more than enclosure: a parent who can see the child from a bench or a sales desk stays longer, which is the point of the amenity. And because the fit-out has to survive continuous use, we design each building as a replaceable module, so a worn cafe front is swapped without touching the rest of the street.
