Modular Parklets for urban spaces

MODULAR PARKLETS FOR URBAN SPACES

In all towns and cities there are areas of poor public design. These area may be lacking in greenery, be stressed due to urban heat island effect, lack public seating or have no components to attract the local community to dwell, shop local, exercise or just appreciate the outdoors. Placemaking is the discipline of changing an area to overcome these elements.

Custom made, free standing and very versatile in the way they can be used, by supplying Urban Parklets we provide a great solution to open areas where there is greyscape areas with little or no greening. The parklets are not only inviting but also create unique engagement points for themed gathering and community events.

Our free standing Urban Parklets require no excavation or surface preparation. They will not scratch the underlying surface. They have stormwater drainage to allow water to flow unimpeded under the park. The park facading and edging is able to be customised to match the local architecture of an area. All planters and garden trays have internal water reservoirs and wicking systems that capture rainwater and minimise water maintenance. No top watering is required.

We have installed Urban Parklets for multiple councils to help place make areas to;
