Furthermore, some bright and vivid colors are added to this interior space design, which can break up the dull atmosphere of the interior space. At the same time, various functional areas under the guidance of this design philosophy will select the corresponding colors according to the different use purposes and amusement functions of the venue, so as to show the flexibility and diversity of the design application.Secondly, the exterior space is designed to serve children aged 1-4 years old, so the Mooton Group conceived clever design solutions to meet their entertainment needs, paired with some high-quality outdoor play equipment.Through playing the outdoor playground equipment, it not only plays a certain role in improving children’s abilities in different aspects but also provides an outdoor playground that is needed by children’s growth to help children contact and understand nature.
