site design group, ltd. recently worked with the LaSalle II Magnet Elementary School to reimagine their playground into an exploratory, natural play space that represents the multicultural, multilingual mission of the school. The design is based on the concept of Storytime, where four children’s stories that represent each of the four languages taught at LaSalle II School. Don Quixote in Spanish, Arabian Nights in Arabic, Journey to the West in Chinese, and Le Petit Prince (Little Prince) in French are incorporated into the playground design.
