The design unfolds as a soft border between built environment and cultivated ground. Along the site’s edges, wooden platforms with seating elements offer a gentle invitation — a place to pause, gather, or transition. These perimeters are not fences, but frames: they define an open architecture that embraces public movement and ecological rhythms.
At the heart of the project lies a harvest square — a seasonal installation for an organic market, shaped by community hands and local produce. This square acts not only as an economic node but as a temporal celebration of collective growth.
Circulation is drawn through gardens, flower beds, and greenhouses, where the walking experience is more than movement — it’s immersion. Materials are light, transparent, and respectful to soil and roots. Each space, from the Botanic Promenade to the Garden Threshold, is designed to slow people down, to root them, both literally and emotionally.
Here, architecture becomes a facilitator of social comfort, environmental engagement, and seasonal rituals. The threshold is no longer just an entry — it’s where stories are shared, hands get dirty, and communities begin.
