Jungle Race

Creek Play is 100architects' first project in the Middle East, recently celebrated at its soft opening at Dubai Creek Harbour. The first visitors have already begun to drop by and enjoy discovering the fun hidden within each of its capsules. The studio has started to see the impact of Creek Play through posts from ordinary users on social media, and the team is glad that the people of Dubai can finally enjoy it. The project consists of a series of smooth, capsule-shaped play and rest elements distributed along the Dubai Creek Harbour waterfront, each hiding a small surprise for visitors to uncover. Commissioned by Emaar Properties and built by Hong Yang Advertising, Creek Play is located at Dubai Creek Harbour in the United Arab Emirates. It marks 100architects' entry into the Middle Eastern market and demonstrates the studio's signature approach of turning ordinary public waterfronts into engaging, social, toy-like landscapes that invite exploration and photography. The capsules are arranged to encourage a slow stroll along the creek. The project is located on the waterfront promenade that links the Dubai Creek Harbour towers, and the capsules double as wayfinding markers that guide visitors along the creek. The project is designed to be family-friendly and accessible, with smooth surfaces and gentle slopes that allow strollers and wheelchairs to move easily between capsules.
