Community vegetable garden

The key focus of design is to beautify and green the city,whilst providing edible produce and recreational areas for the local public.Our detail space is focused within a small residential area.The walkway will be driven by the idea to introduce beach and sea culture due to the close proxmity of the popular surfing beach Lyall Bay.The forms are drawn from the ideas of sea eddies and dune formations as well as the consideration of the town belt back drop.While introducing this beach culture it hopes the residents of Kilbernie will adopt a unique beach culture identity rather than just a suburb of Wellington.It has used the local waste materials from the beach such as the sea buoys, tetrapods, pumice and drift wood timber.the conceptual drive is the idea of drift, the way the water travels and carves the landscape to create eddies.The design celebrates the open space of the proposed walkway letting the architecture move and form along the existing terrain.The plants used are reintroduced plants to give a natural process to the area.Along the walkways different programs have been set ,such as community gardens, shelter and relaxing areas.throughout these programs there is a fluid system linking the land,plant growth and public as a sustainable cycle.
