Monkey house — a modern indoor playground for children

What comes to mind when you hear the term “monkey house”? Perhaps a ball pit, colorful plastic interiors, or synthetic squeaky elements. However, are such spaces truly the best environment for children’s play? In this article, you’ll discover why a monkey house designed with aesthetics, functionality, and safety in mind can be the perfect solution for children’s entertainment — whether in preschools, hotels, or cafes.

Design for Children

Design is not just about beautiful furniture or elaborate projects. Good design focuses on human needs. At Small Human Design, we place children at the heart of our projects. By listening to their ideas, we’ve realized they are some of the best designers.

Monkey houses — indoor playgrounds

In our quest to create engaging spaces for little ones, we stumbled upon indoor playgrounds, known as monkey houses. These are a hit! Who wouldn’t want to navigate an obstacle course, climb, slide, jump, and hide endlessly?

We decided to craft our own interpretation of these playrooms — embracing minimalism and eco-design. Environmentally friendly and ecological principles are dear to us, so we use natural and safe materials. A wooden playground becomes an excellent alternative to sticky tarpaulins or plastic.

According to Montessori education principles, surrounding children with aesthetically pleasing objects positively impacts their development. Thus, functionality, safety, and aesthetics rank high in our values.

A tailor-made wooden playground

The structure of a monkey house fits various spaces seamlessly. Indoor playgrounds are ideal for:

• Nurceries
• Preschools
• Daycare centers
• Playrooms
• Family-friendly cafes
• Hotels
• Waiting rooms
• Shopping malls

And anywhere you want to create a limitless play area for children.

Designing these products from start to finish allows us to tailor the monkey house to virtually any interior. A cohesive look is key. The monkey house can serve as both the main attraction and a complementary feature of an existing playroom. We optimize every inch of space, even filling it up to the ceiling with a labyrinth of challenges for kids.

Space optimization – that’s probably how we can describe our approach.

Endless fun with indoor playground equipment

What makes a monkey house so special? Primarily, it guarantees excellent entertainment. It can function as an obstacle course, transform into a dream spaceship, or become a submarine. We rely on the creativity of our young adventurers. Playgrounds encourage creative thinking and provide endless inspiration for new games and experiences.

The structure is also designed to support physical development. Children can improve their grip strength, mobility, coordination, balance, and motor skills using elements like slides, tunnels, ramps, handles, ropes, and more.

Rainy days will never ruin the fun again, and boredom will never find its way into this space!
