Bringing city and nature together
Listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments, the Beauregard landscape park covers 40 hectares and is an integral part of French heritage.
We are in what is known as the "green belt" in Rennes, France. A spectacular area known for its significant focus on sustainability and, notably, biodiversity. The biodiversity Parc Beauregard-Quincé is located at the foot of a large housing area, inviting residents to catch their breath in beautiful natural surroundings. Pedestrian paths lead visitors around the large park to experience multiple botanical worlds and wildlife.
A new custom-designed playground was recently installed to attract families and encourage physical activity for children visiting the park.
The landscape architects found their inspiration in natural elements from the area. The park is known for its rich number of salamanders. Collaborating with KOMPAN Design Studio, the landscape architects ended up with a final playground design very close to the original design idea.
Using nature as the designer
The playground design uses the sloping landscape to create extra climbing fun for the children without compromising the existing landscape.
The salamander holds play on both the inside and outside, allowing children to explore various types of play. Adventurous climbing on the outside and a calmer world on the inside with tactile and cognitive/creative play.
