The commission

A complete playground metalwork package, made for imagination and intensive daily use.

Heritage manufactured the entire metalwork scope for the Magic Garden children's playground at Hampton Court Palace. Structural frames, elevated walkways, stairs, balustrades, decorative panels and stainless-steel play elements were developed as one coordinated package, balancing safety, durability and a richly theatrical architectural language.

Our approach

Resolved before it reaches site.

01

Brand translated into material

Geometry, finish and touchpoints are developed to support the identity of the space without becoming applied decoration.

02

Programme held

Approvals, prototypes, production information and installation interfaces are organised around the wider construction programme.

03

Made for use

Visible surfaces, mechanisms and junctions are detailed for repeated public use, maintenance and long-term consistency.
