Objective
To create a pedestrian street with a service zone and places to rest within the Rybalsky residential district.
Challenge
To unlock the potential of a linear pedestrian space, shaped by the layout and uses of the buildings' ground floors.
Solution
The boulevard is fully pedestrian and divided into three main zones: sports, a central plaza and a park. Because the ground floors are active, we placed the service zone and wide sidewalks along the buildings, freeing up the space in between. The sports zone borders the school, with skate ramps built into the terrain, trampolines and fitness equipment designed for active use by teenagers. The large plaza at the center of the boulevard supports a variety of uses. Closest to the Dnipro is the park zone, where dense planting, raised landforms with meadow planting and built-in benches create comfortable places to rest.
We began designing the grounds in spring 2017, when construction of the buildings was already underway.
