A territory you want to be in
A park, garden, square, or embankment becomes truly public when it has space for different people and different activities. Children play and explore, teenagers meet and move around, adults walk, relax, watch, and spend time nearby.
A play space can become a focal point, but it shouldn’t exist separately from the city. We look for a connection with the character of the place: we work with the topography, existing trees, history, nature, routes, and how residents already use the territory.
The result is not a standard playground, but a part of the urban environment — lively, intuitive, safe, and interesting at different times of the year.

We consider the location
We study the topography, landscaping, routes, entry points, visual connections, and neighboring functions. The space grows out of the territory rather than being imposed upon it.
We think about different users
We develop scenarios for children of different ages, teenagers, parents, the elderly, and visitors with limited mobility.
We design for daily use
We choose materials and solutions suitable for intensive use, the local climate, and easy maintenance.
We help make the project feasible
We take into account the budget, phasing, regulatory requirements, production, installation, and handover of the facility.
From concept to handover
"Cheharda" is an architectural bureau specializing in natural play and educational spaces. We can join a project at the idea stage, landscaping concept phase, design phase, or implementation phase.
Work begins with the territory and the task. Then we create a concept, develop architectural and working solutions, manufacture elements, organize delivery and installation, prepare the necessary documentation, and hand over the facility to the client.

Spaces for city life
CITY PARKS AND GARDENS
Play spaces that become part of a walking route and take into account the natural character of the territory.
SQUARES AND PUBLIC CENTERS
Focal points for children, families, and citizens: play objects, places for movement, meetings, and relaxation.
EMBANKMENTS AND NATURAL TERRITORIES
Spaces where play is connected with the landscape, water, topography, trees, and seasonal changes of the place.
COURTYARDS AND NEIGHBORHOODS
Play and public territories that support the daily life of the district and connect residents of different ages.
TEMPORARY AND EVENT PROJECTS
Play objects and installations for festivals, city programs, exhibitions, and public events.
Safety is built into the project
A play space must be interesting and safe for daily use. Therefore, structural solutions, materials, surfaces, installation, and operation are considered during the design phase, not after the concept is approved.
For every implemented facility, the bureau prepares a set of documents required for handover. Depending on the scope of the project, this includes documents for children’s play equipment, materials, and completed works:

The "Sea Serpent" playground in the residential complex district reflects a harmony between modernity and the spirit of Scandinavian legends. Inspired by Jörmungandr from Scandinavian mythology, it is a symbol of strength and grandeur, just like the mythical serpent itself that encircles the world.
The principles of Ж·К (likely referring to the developer or a specific design philosophy) here transform into a concept of a good-neighborhood community, where the uniqueness of the district is reflected in every facade and environment, creating a space that cares for the needs of different social categories of citizens.
A wide range of public spaces offers opportunities for interaction and inspiration, prioritizing pedestrians and creating an atmosphere saturated with the best traditions of Sweden.
Abundant greenery and diverse landscape at the playground establish a connection with nature, giving this place an atmosphere of sea power and an aqua vibe, consonant with the legends of Scandinavian mythology.
The playground includes: 1 play complex, shock-absorbing surface, landscape elements.

A project must not only be designed, but also built
Working with an urban territory requires attention to detail at all stages. We take into account site features, materials, logistics, production, installation, and the handover process right during the project development phase.
If the territory is being developed in phases, the space can be designed in stages. In this case, each part will be self-contained while maintaining the overall logic of the entire project.
The bureau’s team oversees design, production, and installation until the facility is handed over. This helps preserve the original concept and resolve any on-site issues in a timely manner.

After the facility is handed over
Warranty service is provided for completed facilities in accordance with the terms of the contract.
During the warranty period, the bureau addresses inquiries related to the work performed, following the procedure outlined in the contract.

A clear path from territory to acceptance
Discussing the task
We get acquainted with the territory, project goals, budget constraints, and initial materials.
Analyzing requirements
We study the site, existing conditions, routes, topography, landscaping, limitations, and requirements for the future facility.
Creating the concept
We form the image of the space, usage scenarios, zoning, materials, and movement logic.
Designing and approving
We develop design and working solutions, prepare documentation, and coordinate key stages with the client and related specialists.
Manufacturing and installation
We manufacture elements, organize delivery, installation, and quality control on-site.
Handing over the facility
We conduct a final inspection, hand over the necessary set of documents, and provide warranty obligations.
Specialists from various fields work on the project
Architects, designers, engineers, technologists, production, and installation specialists participate in the work on the space. We combine their experience into a single goal: so that the idea is well-thought-out in the project, feasible in material, and intuitive in operation.
We consider the play scenario from a child’s perspective: where they want to move, what to explore, where to stop, and what to invent themselves. When developing play solutions, the bureau consults with a child psychologist.

Questions and Answers
Yes. We can start with a description of the territory and the task. We will discuss the initial conditions and suggest a possible format for cooperation.
No. We implement projects in cities of various scales — from regional capitals to small settlements and natural territories. Geography, logistics, and the scope of work are determined individually for each project.
Yes. The bureau can develop the concept and design part separately, or handle the entire process through to production, installation, and handover of the facility.
The set of documentation depends on the scope of work and the contract. For an implemented playground, we may issue a certificate, product passports, declarations of conformity, material documents, and as-built documentation.
The bureau can take on production, delivery, and installation as part of a full-cycle service. The specific scope of work is determined after reviewing the project.
Yes. If the territory is being developed gradually, the project can be divided into stages. In this case, individual phases will function independently while maintaining the overall logic of the space.
The cost depends on the scope of work, materials, site features, logistics, installation, and project tasks. After an initial conversation, we will suggest a suitable format for cooperation.
Warranty service is provided for completed facilities in accordance with the terms of the contract.
