DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade

#DesignTrust #FuturesStudio Portland Street Rest G

#DesignTrust #FuturesStudio Portland Street Rest Garden opens to public today, in a vibrant fuchsia and pink hues providing sense of inspiration and renewal! Reflecting the needs of the densely populated park in Yau Ma Tei district, the new design integrates the old geometric patterns of the former 1980s park with an innovative space, enhanced leisure quality. The transformed rest garden is now a multi-functional space for the users, with the innovative movable furniture system in an open space, increased number of seats from 16 to a maximum of 81 as per the design process relating to the elderly demographic users, which creates flexibility and community participation, for all ages, for various functions within the space. The thoughtful selection of fuchsia color palette, pink tone plants and newly planted species including climbers and bamboos also creates higher greenery density, pleasant sensory experience and positive energy for the neighbourhood. This micro-park is designed in partnership with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Architectural Services Department, local non-governmental organizations, District Council members, and residents of the district for the enjoyment of the community.

The Portland Street Rest Garden proposal was designed by a creative, cross-disciplinary design mentee team composed of Kam Fai Hung, Xavier Tsang, Wendy Wu and Ricky Lai, mentored by international mentor Sam Jacob and curated by lead curator Marisa Yiu. They worked along with collaborators from public and private sectors and the community to put forward a refreshing park with vibrant visual identity and natural green respite for the enjoyment of the public.
