We (vdesign.purple, Chandigarh) designed and executed the Children's Park, Mataur, Dharamshala for Himachal Pradesh Tourism Department. The project was sponsored by NMBA under "Mid-end demonstration structure" for awareness creation and introduction of bamboo construction technology to this area, which has rich resource of bamboos (Hamiltonii and Stricturs, mainly)


The site falls on the major tourist corridor, which connects Pathankot with Kullu-Manali, as well as approach to Dharamshala, another favoured tourist destination in H.P.

The project was titled "Children's Park", where the main components were

The main idea behind the structures were to create learning while having fun.


The complete structures' area covered 1700 sq.ft, constructed with Hamiltonii bamboo, treated with pressure treatment.
