Building The Nest

The ask: Create a space that invites play and builds community for children visiting the Northfield Community Education Center. The Children’s Museum of Minnesota asked Jo-Lu to execute their vision of a playful art structure for a children’ center in Northfield MN. See this Jo-Lu design and build play experience.
