Manufacture, sales, and service with 15 years experience
When a client from Hyper Kidz Alexandria, located at 7005 Manchester Blvd Suite 10B, Franconia, VA 22310, reached out to our design team, they were not starting from zero.
They were already operating a 300㎡ indoor playground, but recent business growth gave them the opportunity to expand. With a newly secured layout plan, the client planned to develop an additional 500㎡ area and wanted this new space to feel like a completely fresh indoor playground experience.
However, their request came with a clear condition: the new design had to be easy to install, well-planned, and cost-controlled.
The site itself offered generous space and flexibility, but the client’s biggest concern was not design aesthetics—it was execution.
During the installation of their first playground, the client had encountered serious difficulties:
The installation process was complex and poorly coordinated
A third-party installation team had to be hired
The delays caused unexpected costs and extended the opening timeline
As a result, the client emphasized one priority above all others:
“This time, we need clear installation solutions and a realistic budget.”
Our task was to deliver not only an engaging indoor playground idea in Washington DC, but also a plan that minimized installation risk.
After presenting the first round of 3D renderings, the client expressed strong satisfaction with the overall style, color palette, and spatial layout.
At the same time, a concern quickly followed.
While the design looked great, the client worried about:
Whether the equipment would be difficult to install
How long installation would realistically take
Whether the final costs would stay within budget
Rather than overlooking these concerns, our team shifted the conversation from appearance to implementation strategy.
We approached the issue from both a technical and operational perspective:
Re-evaluated the entire layout
Each play module was reviewed for installation complexity, structural logic, and long-term usability.
Explained installation difficulty transparently
We walked the client through which components required more time, which were modular, and how installation could be phased efficiently.
Calculated installation time and cost
Based on the site size, regional labor conditions, and equipment structure, we provided a realistic timeline and budget estimate.
Provided two clear installation options
The client could choose between:
Our professional installation team
Local installation with our remote technical guidance
This gave the client the flexibility to balance cost efficiency and execution speed.
As we explained in our communication:
“Thank you for your approval of the overall design style and layout. Our equipment uses a modular structure with a mature installation process. We will provide a detailed installation plan, including timeline, personnel allocation, and step-by-step guidance, along with a clear installation budget. You may choose between our installation team or local guidance to achieve the best balance between cost and efficiency.”
With installation concerns fully addressed, the project moved forward smoothly.
The final design emphasized:
Logical zoning for smooth installation flow
Modular structures that reduce on-site complexity
A vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere aligned with the Hyper Kidz brand
From manufacturing to delivery planning, every detail was aligned with the approved installation strategy—ensuring that the expansion could be completed efficiently and predictably.
After reviewing the finalized plan and installation solutions, the client shared their feedback:
“Your design is excellent, and you have effectively addressed our concerns. I believe that with your help, our playground will be installed quickly, and I look forward to working with you.”
This response confirmed that addressing installation planning early was just as important as delivering a strong visual design.
These visuals help future clients understand how design and installation planning work together.
For operators planning an indoor playground expansion in regions like Washington DC, this project highlights a critical insight:
A successful expansion depends on installation planning as much as design creativity.
By combining modular equipment, transparent budgeting, and flexible installation options, operators can expand with confidence—without repeating past mistakes.
