Play is a means of learning to live, an interactive exploration of the possibilities of
this world and our place in it. Fiona Robbé Landscape Architects create unique
playful experiences for all ages and abilities.
Our Designs
We strive to uphold the theory of Universal Design to its highest ideological interpretation – for people of all ages, abilities and ethnic origins to feel included in the play environment, and to accomplish this at all levels: socially, emotionally and intellectually.
Kelso Community Hub
One of our proudest projects of the year, the multi-award winning Kelso Community Hub provides a safe and unique play space for Bathurst locals!
Arcadia Public School
We have worked with Arcadia PS for over 15 years on various projects, with the most recent being an upgrade to the sandpit.
Join us here for a trip down memory lane to check out some of the projects we have worked on at our local school.
Samuel Gilbert Public School
Not many know this, but nestled in Sydney’s Hills District, just 30km north-west of the CBD, lies Bedrock – a prehistoric city made famous by its most eminent residents, the Flintstones!
Jo Wheatley All Abilities Playspace
Our office worked on the Jo Wheatley All Abilities Playspace for 7 years. Located on the Swan River foreshore in Dalkeith in Perth, it is a quintessential inclusive playground!
Get Centered
