Chasse Park

The Project

The Chasse-terrain is designed with an attempt to allow it to emerge as a green enclave within Breda's city centre. The design thus commenced with the planting of oak trees to provide a connecting fringe to the individual buildings, thus weaving them into a coherent unit. To revive the area further, residential buildings are projected to be constructed on the grounds of the former military barracks, along with a local government office, theatre and a museum.

Oak trees are planted along the edge to weave the varied buildings into a singlular edge.

Chasse-terrain's identity is primarily determined by two prominent pedestrian zones within it- the park and the square. The base layer of the park's campus plan is made up of large grass fields that bind together the loose buildings. Oak trees are planted here as well to provide a sense of continuity and character. The original chestnut and linden trees are incorporated as unique elements into the newly created oak forest where they emerge as counterpoints, individually highlighted for effect.
