Discover Thunderclouds Playground: Where Play, Nature, and Community Collide!
Welcome to Thunderclouds Playground, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of a residential district in Shenyang. Here, the magic of play merges seamlessly with the beauty of nature, creating an oasis of imagination and fun. Our playground pays homage to the dynamic weather of Shenyang, a city where warm, humid summers give life to billowing clouds that seem to touch the sky.

Imagine a place where kids of all ages can explore, learn, and make friends. Our playground features four unique cloud structures, each carefully designed for different age groups, creating an inclusive environment for all:
Cloud Play (0-3 Years): Inspired by the “Condensation” natural phenomenon, this cloud offers a safe and gentle haven for the youngest adventurers.
River Play (3-6 Years): Drawing inspiration from the “Collection” natural phenomenon, this cloud is a place of discovery and exploration for curious minds.
Sun Play (6-10 Years): Embracing the spirit of “Evaporation,” this cloud sparks creativity and active play for growing imaginations.
Rain Play (10-14 Years): Inspired by “Precipitation,” this cloud offers challenges and excitement for older children seeking adventure.

Each cloud playground is a world unto itself, complete with games and activities inspired by their respective natural phenomena. As you move through the clouds, you’ll experience the wonder of condensation, the flow of rivers, the warmth of the sun, and the thrill of rain.

What is a neighborhood intervention?
This is the medium-scale type of intervention that takes place in the public realm of a city, related to the altering of a portion of a neighborhood. A type of intervention of such magnitude and notoriety impacts not only the immediate surrounding urban environment but rather the urban dynamics of a whole neighborhood, becoming an urban landmark and a local attractor of social interactions in a given neighborhood.
The main objective of this typology is to trigger massive public interest in the place through a strong visual impact and injection of activities, encouraging the increase of high public influx and establishing an urban landmark that can cultivate important human dynamics and boost commercial activity. These phenomena are achieved through the creation of spaces for leisure, entertainment, play and collective joy, catalyzing important social interactions throughout the neighborhood.
This topology of intervention, normally is used by real state developers to bring fresh and unique ideas to the public realm of their urban developments, which contributes to stand out in the market, establishing a distinct brand identity through innovative, and user-oriented design solutions that enhance the quality of life and thus, the appeal and value in the eyes of potential buyers or tenants, increasing the marketability of the project and potentially leading to higher property values, rental rates and ultimately faster sell out. This interventions maximize the value of the entire neighborhood.
