The characteristic elm trees that surround the park and the entrance provide shade and an intimate dappled atmosphere. Their presence deeply informed the design of our proposal, the ‘happenstance archway’. The idea of reflecting the shape of the overhanging trees at the entrance is that of an organic archway growing out from the existing elements of the park. It is a place to pause and from which you can observe your surroundings.

the project incorporates sustainability through the material choice, polished stainless steel
走近拱门时，不锈钢板上的穿孔构成了与公园和布莱顿相关的重要历史人物的名字和面孔，使公园的现在与未来相连。与此同时，这些穿孔也使斑驳的光线得以穿过，利用光影的互动为拱门赋予一种诱人的品质，同时营造出强烈的场所感和身份特征。

As you look closer the metal perforations make up names and faces of historical figures that have importance to the level and Brighton, enabling two time periods to exist simultaneously; the present and past. The perforations in the metal let dappled light in and an elusive play between light and shadows create an alluring quality with a strong sense of place and identity.
