The design was done simultaneously with the making of a children’s book, the Stump and Friends, to create a connection between children’s imaginative world and the physical experience. In the book, the places were an abandoned cave and a decaying tree stump where the animals helped to repair them back to life. The form and shapes seen in the exterior design reflect a tree stump (playground) and a cave (cafe) from the book.
Little Stove cafe’s roof curvature follows the abstract contour of an umbrella; an extensive 4-meter canopy design is to provide comfortable shading that would encourage the use of outdoor seating bringing visitors closer to the outdoor garden overlooking the quiet waterway and the existing banyan tree.
The three skylight apertures bring in natural light inside, highlighting layered plywood counter and terrazzo wall, portraying texture found in nature.
Little Stump Playground was inspired by a tree stump with a hollow core, an impromptu shelter for several kinds of animals, the building is a full-scale portrayal of the narrative from the book where it calls for a group effort to fix, fill and assemble the incomplete shelter. The building features a center court with a symbolic tree to signify growth and life.
By referencing organic shapes and forms from nature, the building columns were transformed into the simplified shape of a tree trunk. The window openings were shaped like a cut-out of a tree hollow. The curvature of the building façades and roof lines were adjusted and simplified for construction.
The courtyard connects three main spaces - a reception area, a workshop, and a playroom. Essentially, the playground would become a place for children to expand their imagination, explore sensorial experiences, and connect with nature.
