In collaboration with Thunnissen and Kokon Architectuur & Stedenbouw Carve made a design for the park within two housing blocks in Rotterdam-West. In the current situation, the two greenfield sites are embraced by the local community - as playground, nursery and city farm, and neighbourhood barbecue.

The informality and 'roughness' of the location is something we'd like to preserve and bring back in the new design. A layered park is the result of this, with an exciting dialogue between private and public.
