This 930m² micro-park has been overhauled as a ‘communal living room’ thanks to a pleasingly elementary palette of pool blue, marigold and maize terrazzo and friendly play and fitness equipment. Built in 1988, the linear site is surrounded by subdivided flats in old buildings where the community bonds are strong. Under the Design Trust Futures Studio’s ‘Play is for the People’ programme, conceptualised and curated by Marisa Yiu (Co-Founder, Lead Curator-Executive Director of Design Trust), with the collaboration of mentor architect Mimi Hoang and mentee designers Kay Chan, Stephen Ip, Jonathan Mak and Christopher Choi, several separate areas were connected in one large public space by a colourful groundscape, creating a safe and playful environment for community members to step out of their homes and enjoy their urban park.
