Designs that inspire us

Reality is often a constraint but every now and then someone pushes the boundaries to create something awe inspiring. Belgian Artist Carsten Holler has created an incredible 3 story tunnel slide which amazingly has been doing the rounds of leading museums and galleries around the world. How’s that for inspiration!

Designing Playgrounds for Special Schools Intersport’s “Run the Logo” Campaign

We are so thrilled that a_space did our school playground. Blackheath School P&C raised enough money to put in play equipment and a_space were really thoughtful and sensitive to our budget. The design, landscaping, project management and installation team were completely professional and approachable through every stage of the process. The children at Blackheath Public School are absolutely thrilled with their new equipment – the teachers can’t keep them off it.
