Project Narrative

An urban oasis is created.

It extends an invitation to its immediate surroundings and much further.

As friendly as it may be with its familiar exterior, it holds much more than the familiar.

On open space both physically and visually.

Light enters—whether it be direct, diffused or scattered; or it does not.

Shaded by rich greens fed by trickling water.

You pass by and/or linger;

an urban oasis is created.
