Chasse Park

View of the Chasse Park amidst its urban context.

The buildings in the park stand anchor onto the grass and are encircled by a winding path made up of gebakken klinkers. The parking space is tucked under the buildings. The Chasse-terrain thus emerges, for the most part, as a low traffic area with an open and informal atmosphere, crossed by a network of paths for pedestrians and cyclists.

Play of material within a constrained colour palette lends the design its distinct style.

The parking garage roof provides the surface for the hard park or square which in turn is articulated by a series of black and white triangular granite plates. Wide strips of asphalt pronounce the edges and fold lines of the square and are cut through with thin sections of granite creating an exciting play of lines. The granite plates are not only extremely durable but also are aesthetically accentuated with time and wear.
