Yunxi Harbor creek Play

Creek Play is 100architects' first project in the Middle East, which recently celebrated 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 in a loose sequence that encourages strolling and discovery along the creek. The capsules are arranged in a loose sequence that encourages a slow stroll along the creek, and their smooth forms invite children to climb, sit, and explore while adults enjoy the views across the water.
