Esplanade

Creating well-being on a large square

We analyzed how people moved around in the space and used that information to design a functional floor plan. We embraced the square’s existing layering to create a terraced landscape. The scattered green plains enable well-being on many levels and offer inviting places to relax and play. The park softens the hars edges of the city and creates a positive public space where new development can take shape. Despite this huge transformation, the square can still hold 20.000 people on event days.
