WORDS Michaela Stehr
Initiated by Blok, the Park(let) project aims to create a space where the public can relax, interact and enjoy the city.
The Park(let), launching in December 2015, will occupy two parking lots outside the Blok showroom on bustling Regent Road in Sea Point.
In conjunction with City of Cape Town and Future Cape Town, the concept behind the project is to change the way we think about streets and pavements, not as spaces to quickly pass through, but rather to stay and engage with people and the surrounding environment.
Architecture and design have both been taken into account in the planning of the space, with reference to art deco architecture portrayed through the seating plan. Made from recycled plastic sheets, the structure is eco-friendly and aims to encourage the community to recycle and contribute to the creation of the structure. Indigenous flora and trees will bring an element of nature into this urban area.
