LIFT[ED] provided playground design and construction drawings for the second location of Triangle Montessori Academy, creating a compact and rich environment on a constrained site. This is our second project with the owners, having designed the playground for their location in Cary, North Carolina as well. This project required efficient use of space and critical selection of key components that would be useful to as many age groups as possible. The school opened in 2024, and was quickly enrolled to capacity. Kids have a blast on the playground and spend their days surrounded by activity and opportunities for social and emotional development. This project proves that there’s much to be done for kids, even on a compact site!
