Architect Spencer Luckey has over 80 unique structures of gender neutral playgrounds in his portfolio. They are located throughout the U.S., Asia, Europe and the Middle East. The interactive sculptures have a vertical design that allows children to climb and seek out the hidden nuances of the curious jungle gym. The wonder in Spencer's work is not only that it fosters a positive and inclusive environment for children, but that it is also a stand-alone art piece that beautifully ties in to the encapsulating setting of the housing facility.
Luckey strives to create gender neutral playground structures through setting white as a predominant color and choosing natural shapes. This allows the children to establish their own narrative within the space, while in the meantime exploring a passion for architecture and design.
