Titled MOKA Play, the playground is populated by four colourful and captivating sculptural characters – a super-sized sausage dog, a trumpeting elephant, a giant llama and a reposing Pinocchio-style figure with a seesaw balanced across its ankle. Their rounded edges, slide tongues, and tunnel bellies invite clambering, creeping and crawling. Beneath a glass roof, amphitheatre-style seating encloses the space and geometric shapes spill across the flooring and surrounds.
MOKA Play features four sculptural characters, including this reposing Pinnochio-style figure with a bridge over its belly and a seesaw balanced across its ankle.Wrapped around the upper walls is a mural of Hayon’s vivid sketches. ‘It is really a crazy project all on its own,’ says Hayon of the mural. ‘I was in the middle of the lockdown in Spain, and I had a lot of time, and I started to draw on my terrace, very freely. These drawings were talking about evolution.
‘Kids are open machines of imagination,’ he says. ‘So I just gave them tools to have fun, to see things, to see things through the drawings, to imagine that maybe that one of the drawings fell and became three dimensional and that they can play with it.’ From here, families can stroll through to the calmer, more reflective space of the similarly glass-roofed but more neutral-tonedGarden for some chill-out time. Creature-shaped granite sculptures with brass details, and a head-shaped fountain stand amid soothing planting. One of the creatures, half bird, half hut, conceals a café, another an educational space. ‘Through the strength of the characters that populate the space, the garden proposes a path towards thought and emotion,’ says Hayon.
