Revolutionizing Kindergarten Design: Cifi Yst Cyf

Weimo Feng's Innovative Approach to Children's Spaces

Weimo Feng's vision for Cifi Yst Cyf was to create more than just a play area. The designer wanted to provide a "forest tribe" - a natural, real, and warm space full of adventure where children could interact, share, learn, and grow. The design was inspired by the things that intrigue children, transforming a public space into a thematic, interactive, and educational environment.

The unique properties of Cifi Yst Cyf lie in its innovative use of space and color. The main tone of log color gives the impression of a forest cabin, with cubes interlaced and connected. The green window color block, representing vitality, divides the space, and windows of different sizes are interspersed throughout. This combination of elements gives the space a dynamic rhythm and endless possibilities, breaking children's fear of large, unfamiliar spaces.

Materials such as terrazzo, wood grain sound-absorbing panels, fabric soft packages, and PVC flooring were used in the realization of this design. Covering an area of 1200 square meters, the design offers a rich, versatile, relaxed, and fun environment, introducing architectural elements into the interior and implanting functions into the space.

The project, which started in July 2019 in Qingdao and was completed in May 2020 in Shandong, faced the challenge of serving as a sales office in the early stage and as a kindergarten in the later stage. Safety was a paramount concern, along with meeting children's need for environmental exploration and stimulating creativity and motivation.

Ultimately, Cifi Yst Cyf is a testament to Weimo Feng's innovative approach to design, proving that spaces for children can be both functional and creatively stimulating. The project's recognition with the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2021 underscores its significance in the field of design.
