Olson Kundig architecture and design practice brings kids’ play space ANOHA Children’s World to life inside a vast former wholesale flower market, at the Jewish Museum BerlinThe new ANOHA Children’s World, at the the Jewish Museum Berlin, is a vast new children’s play space designed with adults firmly in mind too.

Throughout, children have full control. ‘Children, as a construct of being cared for by adults and having their parents manage all aspects of their lives, have few opportunities for control and personal choice,’ points out Maskin. ‘Here the design gives them that sense of agency and control over how and where they choose to play. Function manifested as play is embedded in the ways children have fun.
