| DESIGN NAME: Rivulet Golf Park PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Green INSPIRATION: This 2.5-hectare park required an upgrade to accommodate the rising needs of regional storm water drainage. In place of concrete culverts, the park features an ephemeral rivulet rich with lush green vegetation. The design illustrates the restoration of natural creek systems, raising community's awareness to a natural approach towards storm water system design that adds qualitative open space to the urban environment and enhances bio-diversity. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At the heart of the green residential precinct, this Rivulet Golf Park connects the residents to the clubhouse, retail and the community plaza. This park is designed to be the highlight and unique selling point for the residential development. A dual-level park is created with continuous activity space both along the upper embankment and open activity lawn at the bottom of the rivulet. The entire park remains dry for most part of the year, with the lowest level of the rivulet channeling the runoff during rainstorms. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The park gradates in design intensity as it stretches from the community hub towards the residential area. The finest section of the park is closest to the North entry. A statement waterfall plunges from entry to the pond below then cascades along, guiding visitors into the park. Iconic play facilities and seating areas surround the feature trees. This is where people meet and watch the kids play. The mid-section of the park provides a variety of sporting facilities, playgrounds and lookout platforms. At south end of the park, a large multi-purpose lawn also serves as a detention basin. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The Project is in Chongqing, China. The concept design began in March 2018 and schematic design finished by September 2018. The residential estate is in the mountainous outskirts of the city; a historically popular scenic area that offers respite for the city dwellers. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The project uses a variety of native and ornamental plants to help with embankment fortification, wild life habitat formation and storm water filtration. Sandy substrates and permeable pavers are used to help with storm water filtration and infiltration. The educational signage system provides opportunity for learning. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project seeks to source plant and building materials locally as well as using recycled park materials for gabion retaining walls. TAGS: Golf Park, Residential Park, Chongqing, Storm water park, Nan Shan, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The storm water system forms the backbone that dictated the depth and width of the Rivulet in the park. Estate branding and community needs forms the structural planning. Various meetings were held with different departments of the real estate company to understand the budget considerations, government goals, marketing needs, sales requirements and residents’ preferences for park facilities. The conclusion from these meetings led us to divide the park into three distinctive sections that vary in design intensity, construction budget and facilities. CHALLENGE: The hardest creative challenge for this design was to juggle the grading design to allow for storm water capacity, geological condition, amenities required while applying the distinctive design language that characterizes the site and estate clubhouse architecture.
