Pocket Park – Pilot project

Pocket Park – Pilot project

The Journey

In the beginning, people doubted, how can a tiny piece of land provide the experience of a pocket park. The project reclaimed the previously encroached site and sculpted a serpentine path. The hierarchy of pathways with a subtle transition gives a meandering experience to the passers-by.

The Project

As the site is quantitatively very small, efforts have been made to balances the rigidity and limitations of the site. The 4 feet level difference of the site is connected via a ramp with a gradient slope that merges with the natural traits allowing informal sittings.

Glimpse of Work

Tranquility, Hope and Ecology

The rainwater can find its natural course from the gapes between the rough cut flagstones.

Amid a lot of vehicular movements in the adjacent street, it offers active and passive amenity to the urban dwellers. There are peaceful encounters, people are passing by and yet you can sit here and have your own space. A small pocket park breathes hope in between the dense concretes. This pocket park can accommodate fair numbers of users as a place to meet, mingle, unwind, and get inspired. It is a living installation that grows over time.

The completion of this pocket park gave a start to the process of uniting the urban and the natural.
