DESCRIPTION
Creation of a transformative public park for West Green Road in Tottenham.
CONCEPT
Inspired by local shops and travel agencies that sell tropical goods and flights to the Tropics, the team has designed a lush oasis of calm on the noisy and bustling West Green Road, lacking of green spaces despite its name.
Working to a tight budget, the design is an innovative combination of robust, pre-fabricated materials and abundant planting focusing on lush greens and bold shapes, scented flowers and giant leaves, creating a unique and distinctive space and bringing a sense of the unexpected and opportunities for adventure in a place that attracted anti-social behaviour, rubbish dumping and illegal parking.
This new Tropical Park acts as a garden for residents and somewhere safe for families to spend time outdoors.
