Our Approach
We approached Harmony Gardens as an opportunity to heal the urban fabric while creating a space that responds to the community's needs. The design integrates sustainable water management, native plantings, and flexible gathering spaces. We worked closely with local residents, artists, and ecologists to ensure the park would serve diverse users while enhancing the local ecosystem.
