The team from Haben Group approach1ed us with a clear goal: to create a more engaging, family-friendly experience inside Croydon Central Shopping Centre. Keen to see our products in action, they visited our workshop, and from the moment they stepped inside, they were all in.

They were drawn to the craftsmanship, care and creativity behind our builds, and saw firsthand what makes a locally made, purpose-built cubby stand out.

Together, we brought theFood Truck Cubby to life with custom colours, signage and styling that aligned with the centre’s brand, working closely with our in-house design team to turn their vision into a fully realised space.

A Space Designed to Welcome Families

Now sitting proudly in the heart of the food court, the cubby gives kids a playful space to explore while grown-ups enjoy a few minutes of calm. It’s helping create a more welcoming, family-friendly space where people want to stay, connect, and return to again and again.

Building More Than Play

At Castle & Cubby, we believe in building more than just beautiful structures. We build experiences. We build connection.

This project is a great example of what happens when thoughtful design meets a venue that values its community. The team at Haben Group wanted to create a better experience for families, and we were thrilled to help make that happen.

We’re now excited to be partnering again on a brand new project, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.
