Before drawings and materials, it is necessary to understand the main thing: who will use the space, how it will live, and what exactly can appear on this territory.

We study the site, its topography, trees, architecture, routes, and future users. Then we gather the idea of the future space — one that can be discussed with the team, developed in the project, and implemented.

Sometimes there is a site and an understanding that it lacks life. Sometimes — a master plan where the play zones are not yet defined. Sometimes — a territory where you want to preserve the trees, topography, and habitual routes, but add new opportunities for children and adults.

At this stage, you don’t need to have a ready-made answer. It is important to gather questions: who will come here, how people will move, what already exists on the territory, what you want to preserve, and what limitations cannot be bypassed.

A concept helps to see the future environment before individual objects, working documentation, and construction solutions appear.

There is a site
We will help you understand what can be done on the territory and how to connect the new space with what already exists.

There is a master plan
We will determine the role of play zones, routes, rest areas, and natural sections in the overall logic of the territory.

There is a task to update the space
We will look at how the territory is used now, what scenarios already exist in it, and what can be changed without destroying the habitual life of the place.

A concept is not just one beautiful picture. It helps to agree on how the territory will be organized, what will appear in it, and why exactly like that.

Depending on the task, the concept may include:

• Analysis of the territory and initial data
• Space usage scenarios
• Image and idea of the future object or territory
• Functional zoning
• Logic of movement and routes
• Proposals for play objects, natural zones, places for rest and communication
• Preliminary material selection
• Visualizations, diagrams, and presentation materials
• Territory master plan

A master plan is needed for a space that consists of several parts: a residential quarter courtyard, a park, a campus, a school, a hotel territory, or a public zone.

In such work, not only an individual playground is important. We look at the paths between buildings, entrances, quiet zones, points of attraction, existing trees, changes in topography, visual connections, and places where people will stop.

A master plan helps to see the territory as a whole: to understand what will appear first, what can be implemented later, and how separate zones will work together.

As a result of the concept, the client gets the general logic of the future space: an image, scenarios, a territory diagram, and a set of solutions that can be discussed with the project team.

The concept helps to:

• Make a decision on the development of the territory
• Coordinate the general logic with architects, landscape designers, and engineers
• Understand what stages are needed next
• Prepare for design and implementation
• Divide a large territory into phases, if necessary

After the concept, you can continue working with "Cheharda": move on to architectural and landscape design, development of play scenarios, production, and installation. But you can also use the concept as a standalone material for further work with another team.

You might have a territory, a master plan, an idea, or just a desire to change an existing space. That is enough to start a conversation.
