Lyfe Playhouse: a two storey play structure in pale wood, with a slide running down into a green ball pit, a reading nook of low benches and a book rail underneath, a play kitchen behind a scalloped awning, and bean bags on the floor in front.
Seating at Lyfe Playhouse: a long green banquette running around two walls, round tables and small chairs with ears, and a wall of cut out trees, a deer, a rabbit and a house with the Lyfe name lit above it.
The activity area at Lyfe Playhouse: low tables with round stools, an open storage unit at child height, a screen on a wood panel between tall windows, and the slide and ball pit visible through to the right.
Lyfe Playhouse seen wide: the tables and banquette in the foreground, the mural wall behind them, and an arched opening beyond with shelving and a curved counter.

We design commercial spaces for kids. Anywhere.

Play cafés, indoor playgrounds, schools and daycares, healthcare, retail and hotels. All of it remote, all of it in full 3D, and all of it drawn as a set your contractor can work from.

You see the whole thing before anyone commits to it.

What we design

If kids are the point, we design it.

  • Indoor playgrounds

    Active play, movement and family entertainment, laid out so a room full of kids in motion still makes sense from the door.

  • Play cafés

    Child friendly play with comfortable areas for parents and caregivers, in the same room, in sight of each other.

  • Schools and daycares

    Safe, functional environments that support learning, play and the daily routine, from arriving to napping to going home.

  • Healthcare

    Calming, welcoming spaces for children, families and care providers. Waiting rooms that settle nerves instead of causing them.

  • Retail

    Engaging, family friendly spaces that make shopping more interactive, with something for the smallest person at their own height.

  • Hotels

    Kids clubs and welcoming hospitality spaces designed for comfortable family stays.

See what you get

Lyfe Playhouse.

Somewhere for the children who come to Lyfe Restaurant to climb, create and celebrate while their parents eat. It's drawn for every kind of kid: room to move for the ones who never sit still, a quiet corner for the ones who'd rather read, and something hidden to find wherever they look.

The 3D video walkthrough. Every commercial project gets one.

  • The ball pit at Lyfe Playhouse, with a curved slide coming down into it from the upper level and a climbing wall of coloured pegs on the wall behind.Up through the structure, down the slide, into the ball pit, and round again.
  • A play market at Lyfe Playhouse: a wood counter with a toy cash register, crates of fruit and vegetables on open shelves, and MARKET in raised letters on the wall above.A shop of their own, where they fill the crates, pay at the counter and start over.
  • A reading nook under the play structure at Lyfe Playhouse: benches with green cushions on two sides, a book rail with picture books, a star ceiling of small lights, and a window through to the ball pit.A quiet space for the ones who want calm, with soft light to read and a window to escape through when they're ready for the next adventure.

How it works

Three steps.

The first two are ours. By the third you have everything you need, and how involved we stay after that is up to you.

  • We get to know you

    Tell us about your business and how you want to use the space. What's the vision, what's the budget, who's coming through the door. We'll take it from there.

  • We design

    No more trying to picture it from a floor plan. You see the space in full 3D and know exactly how everything fits together, and we refine it over three rounds until you approve it.

  • Time to build

    Everything arrives at once, ready for your contractor: renders, drawings, specifications, electrical diagrams and a shopping list. They take it from there. And if you'd rather not manage that alone, we can handle the sourcing, the contractors, or a week on site at the end.

Questions businesses ask

  • Who builds it?

    A carpenter or contractor local to you. We design it, draw it and specify it, they build and install it, and that split is why it works: you get a studio that only does spaces for children, and a builder who already knows your city, your trades and your prices.

    If you'd rather not find or manage one yourself, product sourcing and contractor management are add ons, and we'll quote them for your project. We're on WhatsApp through the support period for anything that comes up.

  • Do you work in my country?

    Yes. The whole thing is remote and always has been. Kick off and revision meetings are virtual, and we're on email and WhatsApp throughout. The drawings arrive as files, so where you are makes no difference to what you get.

  • What does it cost?

    The design fee is worked out from the floor area of the space, so a play café and a hotel kids club aren't the same number. Send us the size and what you want to do with it, and we'll come back with a figure.

  • How many changes can I ask for?

    Three rounds of virtual revisions are included. More rounds are available at extra cost, up to an hour's work each, and so are additional renderings beyond the ten.

  • Can you go faster?

    Fast track delivery is included for commercial projects, so if you're working back from an opening date, say so when you write, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's doable.

  • What happens once the design is finished?

    You get sixty days of after project support, so while your contractor is working through the set there's someone to ask questions about the drawings, a supplier who's out of stock, or a detail that needs clarifying on site.

    If you'd like us there in person for the final week, to help with the finishing touches and setting the space up, just ask. You cover our time and travel, and we'll quote it before anything is booked.

  • Who designs it?

    Gabriel Henrique, our Architect Director, leads the creative direction, with a team of designers on the drawings and the technical set. He's an architect by training who has spent years designing nothing but spaces for children.

Tell us about the space.

Send us the size, what you want it to do and who's walking through the door, and we'll come back with a figure and an honest read on it. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
