Portland Street Rest Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n

Portland Street Rest Garden is located in Mongkok, sandwiched between two high-rise residential buildings next to the Portland Street. It is approximately 376 sq. m in size with one side facing Portland Street. The rest garden is fenced off with exits on two sides. Currently there are four tall trees, a few benches and a Chinese chess table. The rest garden serves all walks of life. It is frequently fully seated despite the poor hygiene of the garden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Over the past few months the team has been visiting the site, observing and getting to know the existing park users. During the exhibition, 1:1 prototypes and a scaled model is presented to share with the community and inspire them to create different functional settings.<\/p>\n

The engagement process will be documented and the results will be used as inspiration for other visual details and signage design in the next stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Portland Street Rest Garden<\/b><\/p>\n

Located in Yau Tsim Mong District with the highest population density in Hong Kong, the team discovered a need to create a familiar yet innovative space to enhance the quality of leisure space for residents and park users. With the majority of park users being longtime users and elderlies, the team envisioned a thoughtful approach to incorporate existing elements from the site, while injecting new energy and ideas. The future park will be a multi-functional space for the users, and incorporate a range of flowering plants and green walls. Testing new ideas and challenging existing practice, the park will also have a series of movable furniture as well as a set of newly designed graphic signage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
