San Stae was tasked with transforming an anomalous patch of recreational space amidst a stark industrial city setting into a luscious haven for dining and relaxing.

Reclaimed scaffolding boards were laid to follow the trajectory of the angled walls, which in turn opened up opportunities in the corners for integrated and potted perennial planting. Scottish cobbles were added to add more visual texture and strategic uplighting was installed creating a dramatic evening ambience to be enjoyed all year round.
