The project involves the reallocation of space to internal's project area by creating flower beds along the edges contained in a perimeter of steel such as "Corten". The board placed along Brunswick Avenue is surrounded by a bench that follows the perimeter of the flower beds, with concrete base and top coating wooden staves autoclaved. Docks will be placed in the base of the lamp to light grazing. The beds will be filled with topsoil and inside of each will be fitted to a maple tree, in various colors. The paving of the pavement to be constructed in concrete and the drawings are made with square tiles identical to those of today. It will be a retreat of the steps that lead to clinical placement at their crossing of a "statue" made up of metal, that moves the shift of the wind.

A starkly simple plan with five trees enclosed in boxes made from triangular plates of corten steel. They are aligned, three to the west, two to the east on either side of an elegant diamond‐pattern grid of tiled strips set in concrete. The trench beside KHC remains behind a reconfigured wall ‐ which means it continues to provide hiding places. The sculpture at the apex of the now angled steps up from KHC moves with the wind, which means it might be fragile. Lighting is an ingenious combination of under bench 'grazing' and light columns.
I quite like this one in terms of space and flow. The benches are nice and less attractive to skate boarders in this configuration. Not sure how the plant materials would work in those angled beds but it has an artsy feel overall.
Corten walls, over constructed, fussy.
