Key Spaces
Central Pathway:
A meandering stone-paved walkway connects different areas of the park, weaving through greenery and leading visitors to shaded structures and open plazas.
Water Wall Pavilion:
A striking glass-and-wood installation featuring a cascading water wall creates a visual and auditory focal point. This area doubles as a shaded rest spot and a calming sensory experience.
Community Plaza:
An open paved court under the canopy structures serves as the main gathering hub. It’s furnished with wooden benches, making it ideal for group activities, casual meetings, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
Curved timber-and-glass canopy structures with benches underneath provide shaded rest zones. Their organic, oval shapes echo natural forms and blend seamlessly with the surrounding greenery.
Green Borders & Planting Beds:
Low shrubs, grasses, and strategically placed trees edge the pathways and plazas, framing the spaces while enhancing privacy and tranquility.
Details
Color Palette
The palette is warm and natural—timber brown, stone grey, and lush greens dominate. Subtle glass details add lightness and reflect the sky.
Materials and Textures
The park’s material palette is rooted in natural simplicity, with cobblestone and stone pavers defining the walkways and plazas, adding both texture and durability. Timber and steel are used in the canopy structures, their frames softened with translucent glass panels that filter daylight while maintaining a light, airy presence. The seating follows the same natural aesthetic, with wooden benches designed in clean, minimal lines that harmonize with the greenery around them.
Lighting
Pathway bollards and soft under-canopy lighting ensure the park is accessible after dark, while maintaining a serene atmosphere. Reflections on the water wall create a gentle glow at night.
