Built upon an existing concrete slab, a new place of leisure is created within close proximity to industrial buildings, offering a tranquil lunch destination along the waterway.

In order to exist within industrial buildings, the landscape must respond to unique circumstances. These renders capture ways in which people fit amongst the industrial buildings, as well as cross the void between spanning industrial slabs.

Whilst retention strategies serve as a core principle of this design, bridges and retention columns allow users to explore on days of pure inundation, traversing the wet landscape it it's lowest areas.

In order to maximise retention capabilities, this project explored the concept of rain gardens while scaling up on the potential of this common SuDS technique. Using an undulating landscape, every low point serves as a retention pool.
