About Exploraplay

Imagination.
Made by hand.

Custom playgrounds, conceived by designers and built by craftspeople. From our studios in Jakarta and Vienna to places of play around the world.

Since 2015

Built here.
Played everywhere.

Exploraplay began in 2015, creating imaginative playgrounds for Indonesia and Australia. In 2020, we expanded into Europe through a collaboration with Astrus Playground Group.

We design bespoke play spaces for resorts, schools, government bodies and developers. Production for Indonesia and Southeast Asia takes place locally, using locally sourced steel and components from Australia, Europe and China.

Every brief has its own budget, vision, site conditions and age group. Those requirements guide the design, from the first layout to the finished playground.

Design studio & workshop

From the room
to the smallest detail.

Our design work spans the representative office in Vienna and the design studio within our Jakarta workshop. Together, these teams develop concepts, designs and fabrication plans for projects delivered worldwide.

Custom play spaces call for more than an off-the-shelf product. Architecture, interiors and playground manufacturing belong in the same conversation. Our integrated design and construction service connects the interior concept with custom equipment, fabrication and delivery to the finished space.

It also addresses the communication gaps between designers, suppliers, construction teams and clients. Interior designers and construction teams may not have specialist playground expertise. We connect that knowledge with safety requirements and fabrication drawings throughout the project.

The project journey

One design.
Every stage considered.

View the project process ↗
01

Conceptual design

Sketch layouts, idea generation and brainstorming, informed by the existing context, hotel operations and the hotel concept.

02

Design development

Fixed layouts, play zones, equipment, 3D visuals, fabrication and construction planning, followed by client and operations approval.

03

Construction package

Interior construction documentation, playground development drawings, equipment costing and bills of quantities for interiors and fixed loose furniture.

04

On-site construction

Contractor coordination, detail-drawing amendments, site observation and technical support.

05

Playground fabrication

Workshop fabrication, shipping and on-site installation, coordinated with the construction programme.

06

Kids’ club handover

Handover, the defects period, variations to the contract and any additional work.

Safety & certification

Care is part
of the construction.

Our playgrounds follow Australian standards, with equipment safety supported by accredited certification processes.

For the European market, playgrounds meet EN 1176. Certification bodies oversee design, manufacturing and assembly, keeping compliance part of the full delivery process.
