West Marina
West Marina is a layered children’s living space that combines warm neutral tones with elements designed for movement and discovery. Natural timber, soft textiles, and earthy colors come together with a slide, climbing surface, and elevated play level to create an atmosphere that feels both calm and adventurous.
At the heart of West Marina is the idea of bringing sleep, play, movement, and rest together within one continuous spatial composition.

Design Concept & Architectural Approach
The sleeping area is integrated with an elevated play platform and slide, allowing different functions to become part of the same architectural structure. Rounded railings, natural timber, and soft transitions give the active composition a warmer character, while built-in shelving and storage around the bed support everyday use without interrupting the overall design.
On the opposite side, a climbing wall encourages physical play, while a large circular niche creates a more sheltered setting for rest and quiet moments. Open shelving, basket storage, and child-scaled movable pieces allow the room to adapt easily to different activities throughout the day.
Equestrian artwork and subtle graphic details in the textiles introduce a gentle narrative layer without turning the room into an overtly themed interior. The result is a warm, distinctive, and exploratory children’s space shaped through material, movement, and carefully considered detail.
Details, proportions, textures.
