Welcome to Haystack Hill at Lewis Adventure Farm
These new structures create a dynamic and visually captivating addition to the area, offering an exciting upgrade to the play experience. But it’s much more than just two silos.
The Play Silos are a ground-breaking play intervention designed to elevate the outdoor play experience. At their heart are two striking multi-levelled play towers which redefine adventure with their dynamic design and interconnected features. These tower structures are seamlessly linked back to the embankment by fully accessible walkways, ensuring a welcoming experience for visitors of all abilities.
The Silos contain a range of play opportunities to hold the attention of guests, including bridges, interactives, and a plethora of climbing apparatus. From the bottom of the towers, a ground-based playful link meanders through the landscape, guiding visitors back onto the path to continue their 700-acre adventure tour.
Initial sketches
Once we had thoroughly understood the site itself and the visitor flow, the design for the play silos emerged as an idea and was well-received in the proposed location.
Creating more detailed layouts
For us, beauty is always far more than skin deep, and our speciality is in creating tons of opportunities to play within and around the structures we design and build. We found this very early on that a treehouse very quickly becomes just a shed up a tree unless there is play built in. You can see from the images below how this works in reality.
