TEXT

Located in the heart of St. Petersburg historical city center and next to the Neva River, the project is distinguished by its naturalistic layout, inspired by the original geography of the Petrovsky island. Our aim is to strength the relation between the city and the river, rediscovering the historical background of the site, originally composed by marshlands. The Park is shaped as a clearing opening itself on the bank with the purpose of magnifying the views both towards the river and the city’s extraordinary landscape, marked by the grandeur of the historical facade of St Petersburg. Various components define the project. A wide clearing, made up of a series of large lawns, opens itself on the river. A wetland, highlights the natural and alluvial character of the territory, creating a refuge of biodiversity in the heart of the city. The bank that allows to come closer to the river and widening views. The buffer that isolates the park from the noise of the adjacent street and evokes the woodlands of the close context. The project of the park, anchored to its ecological roots in the very heart of St. Petersburg, amplify the presence of the city’s cultural heritage providing a contemporary landscape with a geographical anchorage.
