Introduction
South Lohmuehleninsel Park (transliteration) is located in the central area of Berlin, it was originally a leather manufacturing site. After the reunification of Germany, the Lohmuehleninsel Island was gradually transformed into an urban green space. By 2008, the reconstruction work was basically completed. During this period, the newly built sports belt provides sports and rest places for people of different ages.
Reason to Be Selected
Part of the former parking lot on the northwest side of the area. The blue paving and undulating terrain reminded the owner of the change in the purpose of the site and prevented the car from entering again. Such a direct change of behavior is more direct and effective than enclosing the venue and placing warning signs.
Highlights:
By slowing down the slope and widening the steps, the ramp forms a viewing step. The tranquil atmosphere of the river is thus fully utilized, providing visitors with another place to stop. At the same time, this setting forms a road network that diverges from upper to lower and lowers the crowded traffic on the road. Considering the passage of light obstacles, slopes are set on both sides of the stairs to facilitate the up and down of bicycles and children’s vehicles. Taking into account the cold winter, visitors lean on the railings by the river and install wooden handrails on the railings along the river. In this way, the coffee cup that you carry with you can also be placed on it steadily, and the detailed design fully considers the daily use scene.Details
The Observation Deck in the sluice area is a game space with rich site characteristics. On the platform on the canal bank, the children move up and down the “flag” device, interacting with the ships passing by in the game. You can also use the horns on the shore to speak to the “crew”.
Recommended
The street trees planted on the boulevard brought shade. The staggered speed bars make the rider have to bypass to avoid bumps, thus limiting the speed. The large-size slate paving highlights the cleanliness of the boulevard.
Giant seats are vertically displayed on the northeast side of the venue. Berlin’s fast bikers can see the entrance to this iconic park from a distance, slowing down in advance. The direction of the seat guides visitors from the Spree River through the Island Plaza to the Gritz Park. The unique shape of the benches will surely be favored by skateboarding and other extreme sports enthusiasts in vibrant Berlin. Such diversification of use is also what we expect. Considering the maintenance of the facility, we installed wear-resistant steel plates on the edges of the benches.
Conclusions
The slightly undulating ground is shaped by asphalt, with blue EPDM as a protective layer. This design uses terrain to limit the speed of cyclists and inline skaters. At the same time, a wide view is reserved for the narrow venue. The blue paving and white ripples echo the location of the site-the riverside of the canal, full of personality. The concise structure achieves the diversity of functions, behind which lies the designer’s ingenuity.
