challenge park: cad model
ZLG's signature minimalist but warm materiality to the design is through using only the most durable finishes, that embrace sustainability and modernity with a twist. The model was practically an image that stood the test of time, and today it resembled the work on site almost without any visible differences.
The seating in the landscaped terraces were made of concrete plinths, resting on the grass slopes, forming an informal arrangement of sculptured objects.
