Site Area: 4,000 m²
As a green oasis that encourages playfulness and socialization within this gritty, urban environment, this landscape concept brings elements of softness, green and vitality to greatly enhance the quality of life for residents and people working in the area.
This connected green oasis will be a lush landscape, a place of calm and refreshment, but also an invitation for play, adventure, connection with other people and with nature.
A careful selection of natural materials will bring about this softness, warmth and comfort. Trees are chosen for their seasonality, appropriateness to this situation, and for their wildlife value. Planting will support this seasonality and provide an understorey carpet of textural and tonal greens, highlighted with some beautiful colourful planting throughout the seasons, including a native meadow.
