SHIFT worked with the City of London and the residents of the Old East Village neighbourhood to design a public park that fits harmoniously into their culturally-rich community. A refined concept was developed and presented in February 2018, followed by a final concept being produced to guide tender documents for construction. The final design was inspired by the community’s friendly ‘front-porch culture.’ The new park design integrates unique elements that highlight ecology and education, such as a rain garden and insect habitat. Additionally, historical elements from the site’s previous incarnation as a school have been repurposed and showcased in the design.
