Bridging
My first idea for this large site was to have an open public plaza with a grass lawn and stage for musical performances. The large lawn allowed children a safe place to play ball and run around. A path borders the lawn where people can walk their dogs and go for a jog. The path acts as a border to the plaza, and a retaining wall to the south (along Lisbon Avenue) offers a sense of security.
Bonding An intimate space where people in neighboring homes, duplexes, and apartments can use as if it were their own backyard. A simple pavillion stands in the midst of fragrant plants and flowering trees such as lavendar, sage, and crab apples. Family reunions, barbecue’s and birthday parties can all be held here. |
