COMMUNITY GARDEN
FENCED, GATED COMMUNITY SPACE WITH PLOTS
FOR GROWING VEGETABLES, LAWNED AREAS, AND A
NATURAL TODDLER PLAY AREA WITH BOULDERS, LOGS
ETC.
THE SPACE IS SUBDIVIDED WITH LINEAR HEDGEROWS,
WHICH EXTEND INTO THE LANDSCAPE AND ARE
REINFORCED WITH LOW LEVEL FENCING TO PREVENT
THE FORMATION OF DESIRE LINES.
THE SQUARE
A GENEROUS PUBLIC REALM SPACE, WITH AREAS FOR
OUTDOOR CAFE SEATING, INFORMAL HARD SPACE,
AND CIRCULATION SPACE.
THE SPACE IS UNIFIED THROUGH A GRID-LIKE
PAVING PATTERN, USING SMALL UNIT PAVERS WHICH
EXTEND ACROSS THE PARKING AREA, ALLOWING THE
WHOLE SPACE TO BE USED AS A HARD SURFACED
EVENTS SPACE IF NEEDED. BOLLARDS PREVENT
VEHICLE ACCESS TO PEDESTRIAN AREAS, INCLUDING
REMOVABLE BOLLARDS TO CLOSE THE SQUARE TO
TRAFFIC DURING EVENTS.
RAISED PLANTERS ARE ARRANGED WITHIN THE GRID
PATTERN, AND WOULD INCORPORATE SEATING AND
HELP PREVENT VEHICULAR ACCESS. THE USE OF
INDUSTRIAL CAST IRON COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR
THE PLANTERS, AND RETAINING WALLS ALONGSIDE
THE ACCESS RAMPS.
LANDMARK FEATURES SUCH AS SCULPTURAL
LIGHTING OR PUBLIC ART COULD PROVIDE FOCAL
POINTS AND CREATE A SENSE OF IDENTITY - ONE
WOULD BE SITUATED AT THE FRONT OF THE SQUARE
TO PROVIDE A SENSE OF ARRIVAL, AND A SECONDARY
PIECE WOULD BE SITUATED AT THE JUNCTION OF
PATHS ADJACENT TO THE COMMUNITY GARDEN,
PROVIDING AN INFORMAL WAYFINDING FEATURE.
