Hidden Garden is an exterior renovation of a sunken plaza giving access to a mixed-use complex in Minhang, the suburban district in the South-West of Shanghai.
除了作为商场和办公楼的入口广场,下沉广场也是一个半露天的公共空间,全天对公众开放。
Besides serving as access plaza to the commercial and office buildings, the sunken plaza is also an open-air semipublic space fully open to the public throughout the day.
This revamp of this almost abandoned sunken plaza had as a main objective turning the grey and obsolete space into an eye-catching, bold and vibrant public space fostering social interactions, entertainment and a fun immersive experience below the surface of buzzy intersection streets in Minhang.
The project was conceptualized as if we had buried a seed in a colorless ground unleashing a colorful blooming explosion of life, gigantic flowers and entertainment features triggering the occurrence of this wonderful blooming garden.
In order to bring the sunken plaza to life, we colonized all the basement floor with a circle-packing Colorscape, mimicking colorful flower buds perceived from top view, which is the way we figured most of the visitors would get a first glance at the sunken space as they access from the surface.
许多圆圈由互动游戏、图案和信息组成,鼓励激活地面和空间的功能性和活动性。
Many of those circles feature interactive games, graphics and messages in them, encouraging a functional and eventful activation of the floor and the space.
With the aim of enhancing the whole garden experience and immerse visitors in it, 3 oversized flowers sprout up from the ground, serving as playful and resting platforms under comfortable shadows, for kids and adults alike.
Seating features were designed as little colorful sprouts, while the main playful feature is rendered as a meandering flower stem than bends to allocate swings and passages.
在花丛的周边,有4根五颜六色的柱子,有一个小型圆形剧场,供孩子们聚会、社交和玩耍。
Nearby the flowers, and guarded by 4 colorful columns, lies a mini-amphitheater for kids to meet, socialize and play around it.
As a result, the revamped sunken space has been transformed into an attractor and a destination for a diverse group of users targeting families and youngsters. Commercially specking it has increased importantly the flow of people helping to ensure the success of the commercial scheme in which is immersed.
