The Design
About Kitazawa Residensiële Landskapontwerp
Kitazawa is 'n landskap- en gedeelde-ruimte-ontwerp vir die grondvloer van 'n nuwe kollektiewe woonstelblok in Setagaya-ku, Tokio. Die projek omvat die gedeelde ruimte, die tuin en die parkeerarea. Dakteëls van die voormalige Japannese-styl huis op die terrein is met terrazzo vermeng en deur pleisterwerk toegepas, sodat die tekstuur van die plek behoue bly. Die dooie-punt-terrein is omskep in 'n deurgang tussen stegies wat ook as 'n ontruimingsroete dien. Bome is herplant en 'n oop biotoop met banke is bygevoeg vir kort rusperiodes en vir ontmoetings tussen inwoners en bure.
