How do nature and landscape dialogue within spaces designed for children? How are architecture and urban design capable of shaping natural atmospheres that integrate practices of play, participation, and exploration? From participatory projects that involve children in the design process to built environments that incorporate furniture adapted to their needs, the conception of spaces for childhood entails the creation of places for encounter, learning, and coexistence.

The O by Alberto Roncelli takes the form of a circular timber pavilion, combining solar energy production and rainwater harvesting beneath a wide canopy that also serves as a flexible communal space.

The project transforms a modest 1930s house into a generous dwelling, reinterpreting the detached pavilion typology with a three-story volume that enhances urban scale.
