THINK.
DARE.CREATE. THINK AGAIN. FOLLOWING several successful installations
over recent months, Team Architects of Israel is currently working on several attraction packages for theme park and FEC operators around the world
Fantasy Park The soon-to-open Fantasy Park at the Dambovita Centre in Bucharest, Romania, will house a large variety of attractions, such as an indoor roller coaster, mini flight, bumper cars, ice rink, mini golf and a maze. The park will also include a classical Fantasy Park branch, part of a chain across Europe. The entire space will be themed as a lost tropical island, with the centre representing a tropical village, incorporating a multi-level tropical island, enriched decoration and a set of bridges in between the various zones. The location is an inner space of 5,500 sq. m at the entrance
Comfyland Experience Intended for family entertainment centres, shopping malls,
children’s health centres, hotels and resorts and camp sites, the Comfyland Experience creates unique space for a family- interactive, protective and enjoyable experience. These spaces were made as “mazes” consisting of elastic
units capable of being built and dismantled rapidly. The Comfyland space is divided into three major sections attached to each other through a network of passages. The “3C”’ comfy elements are well represented and reflected
within three different corners featuring different and exciting experiences: the Senses Corner, Music Corner and Cognitive Corner. Comfyland Experience won two major awards at the IAAPA
2007: the prestigious Impact award and the Best Product of the Year award.
Atlantis! Atlantis! is a mysterious underwater themed attraction that
is revealed to guests in stages, offering them the opportunity to exercise their full imagination. The overall space is designed as a lost, imaginative city that
is submerged under the sea, generating its own inner world. The space simulates a huge water tank - the walls are covered with sea habits, coral wildlife and wrecks in the depths, most of them in actual size. The “city” itself has public centres, which comprise various
attractions, and the target audience is children aged between two and 12.
Epic The Epic was installed in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2007, as a
modern, mixed-use FEC club featuring a dance area, an open bar and gallery. The venue also includes “single boxes,” springy saddle jumping stools and a luminescent DJ booth. The club’s interior design places inner components at unusual angles that serve to break up the rectangular space, obscuring any sense of time and place. From private parties to mass dancing nights, goers aged eight to 18 are welcome to find their place of interest and fun. As a multi-use endeavour, the Epic allows for games and attractions during the day, while entertaining its more mature guests through the night.
level to the Dambovita Centre and an additional two levels will be approximately 3,000 sq. m each. Fantasy Park is operated by the Plaza Centres Group, which is owned by Motti Zisser and features entertainment initiatives directed by David Peretz.
Q. & A. - Zvika Tamari, architect and designer
IP: What is the overall vision that drives Team Architects forward? ZT: Every project which enters our offices, no matter its scope or type, is embraced as a multi- layered challenge, compelling us to undergo a profound process of discovery. We see our work with clients as a process of staging of ideas, experiences, goals and resources - and fusing them all into one breathtaking and very tangible creation, which is aesthetic as much as it is functional, attractive as much as it is practical and surprising as much as it constitutes a fulfilment of the initial intentions of the attraction’s story.
IP: What message would you give to operators interested in Team Architects’ services? ZT: We stand on your side as one unified and dedicated team - accepting your project when it is still a concept, an abstract idea in your mind, and turning it into reality. We see it as our responsibility to challenge other relevant specialists and to draw from them their utmost creativity in finding the best solutions we need for your project. Faithful to this approach, we will provide a comprehensive design and construction plan for all types of venue.
IP: Which projects are you currently working on? ZT: After having recently installed the new Zara beach resort on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, Team Architects is currently working on several new projects, including the Fantasy Park FEC in Dambovita Centre, Bucharest, Romania, the Globe Museum in Modi’in-Maccabim-Re’ut, Israel, and the Heiku Japanese-style resort under Mount Gibo. We also have a new Fantasy Park FEC project in the pipeline for India.
