The brief
Cities hold large pockets of underused municipal open space. The brief: turn them into high-performance, climate-resilient community eco-parks without starting from scratch each time.
The approach
ArthAxis applied LNC landscape design and VCTR strategic planning together, building a six-layer framework from the studio's own planning research.
The solution
- Architecture
- Park modernisation blueprints that fold smart public amenities into existing municipal parks.
- Landscape
- Native softscape, microclimate-adaptive planting and permeable hardscape with storm-water drainage.
- Technology
- Off-grid AI Smart Solar Benches as self-powered public amenities.
- Planning
- Master planning, statutory compliance and GIS spatial analysis.
The result
A repeatable framework for park rejuvenation, published openly alongside the research behind it.
