Lego Activity Center Retail

Lego Activity Center Retail

Lego Activity Center Retail is an innovative educational and commercial interior design project that exemplifies the harmonious integration of play-based learning principles with sophisticated spatial design. Located adjacent to Yangfushan Park in Wenling city, this double-height architectural transformation masterfully addresses structural challenges through creative space utilization and thoughtful material selection. The design philosophy centers on the concept of play while learning, learn while playing, incorporating modular elements and woven textures that create an engaging, child-friendly environment. The space features distinctive architectural elements, including a curved wooden amphitheater cabinet that doubles as a storage solution, and circular windows on the second floor that enhance the whimsical atmosphere. Environmental consciousness is evident in the material choices, with non-toxic, environmentally friendly paints and linseed oil-refined flooring ensuring a healthy learning environment. The design team, led by Donny Fan, successfully converted structural constraints into advantages, implementing a spiral staircase with wooden handrails that creates a cohesive visual narrative throughout the space. The project, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, demonstrates exceptional attention to spatial hierarchy, incorporating dynamic lines and natural structures that facilitate an intellectual and interactive learning experience. The transformation of the original single-story building into a multi-functional educational space showcases innovative solutions in retail design, while maintaining a focus on creating a comfortable and peaceful business environment that serves both educational and commercial purposes.
