A handful of simple but well thought gestures compose this interesting 'harbour-campus-waterfront'. The soft willow trees contrast the rough harbour milieu and accompanying wind conditions. A comfortable wooden sun-deck catches much needed warmth. The suprematistic composition of wooden slabs give impression as if they were unloaded from a ship and then reorganised spontaneously for seating.

Navitas Harbour Front

Besides offering the epic view, this pocket social space is in fact also a community garden, plaza, skatepark and a monument. The latter comes from the fact that there was a development that slid down the bluff in 1930' and some remains are still visible today. It's interesting that the remains inspired the forms of this project and not the previous state of the architecture before the accident. So there is a great deal of abstraction rather than some naive memorabilia, which is sadly often the case. A Google Maps visit will show that the initial planting scheme did not survive. Maybe it was changed by the members of the community, in any case it's a pity since it was giving unique character to the place. As if the violet and yellow-ish plants would want to play with the sunset light and blue - pink hues of evening sky. It would be hard to believe that Sedum would not survive the climatic conditions of this site.
