We are delighted to announce that our garden project, Space to Collaborate, is on exhibition at Bloom in the Park 2017.
Space to Collaborate is an urban garden located adjacent to the home or workspace of a maker. Conceived as a creative sanctuary, the garden focuses on its inhabitants and the interactions fostered through collaboration. The built structure represents home, alongside the authentic connections and personal bonds that develop through shared creative endeavour.
Visitors are invited to explore a series of spaces designed to support both social interaction and individual making. Seating areas offer relaxed places to gather, share experiences, and exchange ideas, while overhead structures express the fluid crossover between work life and social connection.
A dedicated corner workspace provides an opportunity for concepts to become material objects. This creative process mirrors the life cycle of the garden’s planting, with growth, change, and renewal forming a central theme of the installation.
This exhibition at Bloom in the Park offers an opportunity to experience how landscape, architecture, and making can intersect, demonstrating the potential of small-scale urban gardens to support creativity, collaboration, and community.
