Spatial allocation

All Family Entertainment Centres whether they incorporate soft adventure play, trampoline park equipment, ninja courses, climbing, virtual reality, agility equipment, parkour, interactive equipment, sensory equipment or inflatable products operate best when the correct amount of space is allocated for activities, seating and ancillary areas (Kitchen, reception, servery, toilets, party rooms, etc.).

Different equipment types have different user capacities so our design teams can advise on the optimum spatial allocation for your project so that you do not over or under capitalise on your investment. The aim is to provide sufficient ‘play value’ for users whilst providing sufficient seating within the facility for spectators.

Soft play café example – A small 100 sq. m. café would probably have no more that 20% of the space allocated for play equipment, the rest would be seating and ancillaries.

Large soft play centre example – A larger single activity soft play centre would be optimum with approximately one third of the space for play equipment, one third for seating and one third for ancillaries.

Trampoline park example – A single activity trampoline park would be optimum with up to two thirds of the space for equipment, the remainder being allocated for seating and ancillary areas.

Family Entertainment Centre example – The optimum layout for a multi-activity Family Entertainment Centre would depend entirely on the product mix and quantities of each product selected.

Optimum design layout

The layout of your building is one of the most important steps in the design process and can sometimes be the difference between having a successful venue and not. The design team at House of Play will look to develop the allocated space to make your facility flow, ensuring operational efficiency and an optimum customer journey. In doing so the designers will apply commercial criteria to design in operational efficiencies, for example strategic staff monitoring positions as well as good ‘line of sight’ for parents providing customer satisfaction.

As House of Play operates two show sites our design team is able to present proposals that work commercially, rather than only presenting a pretty design drafted with the sole purpose of selling product. Only an operator can design a Family Entertainment Centre with these considerations in mind.

Facility Design

The design team at House of Play considers the workability of the whole facility when developing your design and will help you understand how the design of the facility will impact the product mix, the brand and the customer experience. The facility design brings together the agreed spatial allocation with the optimum building layout and then factors in the product mix selection to start to bring the facility to life.

It is at this stage that we can then discuss things such as branding, wall decoration, furniture and flooring types, all of which our expert designers can advise on and will be important considerations when developing your facility. Of course, if you do not need our input on the wider facility, we can restrict our brief to the design of your selected product mix.

bespoke 3d design

For most of our customers, the most exciting part of the project is the 3D design stage. This is the part of the process where your ideas are visualised and turned into reality by our skilled and experienced designers.

As every customer, their project requirements, properties and budgets are different, each of the bespoke designs that our team produce are tailored to your needs.

At this stage we will take the spatial allocation, optimum building layout and facility design which has already been agreed and combine this with your design brief to provide you with a tailored 3D design using the latest CAD software. The aim of to design team is to exceed your expectations and provide your facility with an attraction with the wow factor to attract loyal customers and encourage repeat custom.

Whether you are setting up a soft adventure play venue and can’t decide whether to theme it with jungle, pirates, underwater, castle, garden, another theme or simply leave it coloured to tie into your branding, our expert design team will be on hand to guide you. Similarly, if you are not sure which colour scheme to go for our team will be able to advise you on best practices and industry trends.
