Make it stand out.

THE HAVEN

The village and surrounding context contain no desired public space. There is accessible land but it is unkempt. However, there is one exception, the one space that is well kept is outside the chemical plant. Here we see a well-kept lawn with plantings, except here it is inaccessible and even guarded.

The Haven creates a secluded space for the public coming to the center. Here the garden provides shade with its tree and trellis while also giving focus to nature accented by water. These factors bring harmony with nature, wildlife and people that inhabit the space as one. This space serves to remove the movement, noise and distractions of the public street and switches them with harmony of nature. People can relax in the haven without distractions. The haven surrounds visitors with nature to provide a calming environment.
