Developers Rethinking the Playroom with Biophilic Design

Featuring the best new residential developments in NYC for families based on the uptick in creatively designed indoor/outdoor playrooms. Whether it is due to the fall out of being at home during the pandemic, or the fact that city living limits connection to nature, many residences across the city are incorporating these large-scale creative indoor/outdoor themed children’s rooms in their amenity packages. Here are a few of the best Biophilic playrooms with expanded outdoor components we have seen popping up all over New York City.

Saint Marks Place

The INC-designed development features a practical and whimsical playroom for children named The Treehouse. The room features a custom built indoor tree among kids’ furniture and toys with a massive connected outdoor play area on elevated loggia. The fun also extends to the building’s Overlook Park, which provides residents with city views and fresh air, plus it connects to the indoor playroom.

Olympia Dumbo

This nautical themed playroom at 30 Front Street brings the beach to your home. This residence boasts both a chic indoor ocean play area with a larger-than-life sea life mural, as well as an outdoor pirate ship play structure to allow for plenty of time in the sun.

The Brooklyn Tower

The floral themed room in Brooklyn’s tallest tower gives parents spectacular views while the kids are situated in a nature-themed play area. The kids’ room at The Brooklyn Tower, designed by Krista Ninivaggi of Woods-Bagot, presents a fresh, springtime garden vibe displaying vibrant pinks, greens, and blues. The project will also feature an outdoor playroom on the 66th floor which will be encased in a stunning outdoor loggia overlooking the city.
