This campus project in Indonesia features a Rainbow Rope Tree designed to enrich the school’s physical education space. Inspired by the form of a large tree, the structure combines visual appeal with functional play. By utilizing vertical space, the rope net installation creates a three-dimensional activity environment supported by a high-strength steel frame and wrapped in a flexible green rope net skin.

The interior “tree trunk” is designed as a tubular rope net climbing tunnel, challenging students to use both hands and feet to move upward against gravity. This climbing route simulates a real tree-climbing experience while strengthening upper-body control, core stability, and coordination in a safe and engaging way.

At the top of the structure, the tree canopy expands horizontally into a multi-level rope trampoline zone. Several rope net trampolines are arranged at different heights, using material tension to create dynamic jumping and running surfaces that encourage active movement and free exploration.

Hanging rope balls are integrated into key canopy nodes, adding unpredictability and interaction to the play experience. As students pass through the space, they must avoid or utilize the swinging elements, enhancing balance, spatial judgment, and responsive movement during play.

The structure follows an “inner rigid, outer flexible” engineering principle. A custom-shaped steel frame provides the primary load-bearing support, while the exterior is fully covered with high-strength composite rope netting. This system ensures durability and stability under high-frequency campus use, while offering comprehensive soft protection and long-term safety.
