Kildebjerg Ry is a very popular residential area for families mainly because of the beautiful surrounding countryside that lends itself to a wide variety of outdoor activities. Since the community wants to expand this integrated system of leisure and sports CEBRA was asked to design three activating and innovative activity zones for different purposes that form an integral part of the landscape.
The Play Zone is designed for both playing and working out. People of all ages can go to this group of geometrical trees right next to the local gym to either climb, swing or train with weights. The Pulse Zone is a literal bulge on the existing paths as it prompts horizontal movement. The paths loop into a group of bowls created for running, biking and skating at speeds dictated by the actual slant of the bowls. The third zone complements these active zones and provides a more contemplative space. This is the Zen Zone, where people can enjoy slower and gentler activities such as yoga or stretching. The zone itself provides a green and quiet environment partly shielded under trellises and is placed on an artificial island in a small lake, which supports its meditative purpose and relaxing atmosphere.
