"For the limitation of knowledge, imagination is far more important than knowledge by itself since it summarizes everything in the world, and promotes the progress." In the real world of ubiquitous settings and scenarios, the reality is slowly pricking with children's fantastic imagination and creativity.

In order to protect every child's freedom in the natural forest, SLT decides to break away from dogmatism and abstractly extracts the distinctive features of nature in memory by using a large number of soft, smooth and charming colors. Without defining the figurative form of nature, the inside space divided by different colors subtly guide children to expand their imagination of the natural world. 

The entire storyline is about climbing cross three mountains and terrains, runs through every corner of the space and divides the space into three theme areas: berry field - wind-eroded desert - deep-sea mystery. Different concepts of regional attributes and features are combined with recreation facilities of various age levels to draw a vivid and three-dimensional map of nature. The molding edge and activity space are fully soft packaged for safety, so as to eliminate the possibility of accidents during children's playing. All the props in the space are customized and designed by SLT. 

By selecting superior-quality materials and exquisite technology, high-quality products, SLT are able to meet the request of man-machine engineering with multiple adjustment tests, trying to maximize the distinctive personality of props. The goal is to achieve a perfect balance between the practical aspect of the product and the creative side of design, in order to make Meland adventure playground unique charm. Bright and low-saturated colour ratio, on the basis of protecting the development of children's light sense, reduces visual fatigue brought by long-term contact and improves the stability of the emotional state of children and parents in immersive space. 

VI door identification system designed with space concept is distinctively and appropriately blending into the environment. Through the creation of immersive artistic narrative space, we creates a space for children running and playing in paradise where they can perceive the unique natural world using their five senses like sight, touch and hearing. It has changed the traditional children playground space, where parents turn a blind eye to surrounding facilities and only interact with their own mobile phones. 

The abstract artistic atmosphere and immersive experience space subvert parents' conventional understanding so that the interest of parent-child interaction and exploration arises naturally. It is all about generating their introductive understanding of nature, stimulate their potential imagination and creativity, and eventually sow the seeds of curiosity in the exploration of the adventure of nature.
