Tom & Jini Tent Playground at Eco Retreat, Vietnam

We’ve Brought a Storybook Indoors

The design concept transforms the tent into a dreamlike storybook realm crafted specifically for children.

Instead of relying on a single oversized theme element, the environment uses multiple layers of visual storytelling.

Soft, Colorful Tones

The color palette uses soft and playful tones to create a warm environment rather than an overly stimulating commercial arcade aesthetic.

This makes the space feel approachable for younger children while maintaining enough visual energy for active play.

Vintage-Style Cottages & Castles

Adorable cottages and castle-like structures create recognizable landmarks throughout the playground.

These architectural elements give children places to imagine, explore and create their own stories.

Layered, Winding Streets

Rather than presenting the playground as one large open equipment field, the design creates a miniature world of interconnected spaces.

The winding streets encourage discovery.

Circular Roaming Path

The circulation forms a continuous exploration route.

There is no need for children to simply enter, play once and exit.

Each turn can reveal another activity, visual detail or challenge.

Hidden Surprises

Small visual and play details are integrated throughout the environment.

This creates a sense of discovery:

What’s around the next corner?

That question is important for children’s engagement—and equally important for creating a playground that feels richer than its physical footprint.

Tom & Jini Brand Integration

The playground also incorporates the client’s existing Tom & Jini brand into the physical environment.

This means the space does not feel like a generic playground installed inside a tent.

It becomes a physical extension of the client’s existing identity.
