Redefining Play, Place and Possibility
Third Place Design creates community spaces that blur the lines between art, landscape and recreation.
Third Place Design is a specialist design studio focused on creating bold, inclusive and unforgettable places for play, connection and community.
Together with landscape architects, developers and local changemakers, we design sculptural play spaces, intergenerational hubs and nature-inspired environments shaped by story, place and purpose. Our designs are carefully shaped through collaboration and a hands-on approach that honours both creative intent and practical delivery.
Iconic by Design
Our play spaces are never generic. Every Third Place Design project is distinct—shaped by context, story and architectural vision.
Designed Around People
We design spaces that invite gathering, spark connection and reflect the everyday rhythms of community life.
Creative Vision, Made Buildable
Our concepts are bold, sculptural and immersive, but always buildable—maintaining creative integrity all the way through to construction.
Strengthened by Story
Every design is rooted in narrative, shaped by context and inspired by nature, creating third places that feel local, layered and alive.
Collaboration at Every Step
Our approach is deeply collaborative. From early visioning to final handover, we work closely with all stakeholders to create spaces that are inclusive, meaningful and enduring.
Expertise You Can Trust
With over 100 years of combined design experience, we bring deep technical knowledge and creative leadership to every brief.
