Central Green Forest Park

Designed around the traditional 24-season Chinese lunar calendar, Central Green Forest Park’s mosaic of flexible forest rooms emphasise the changing seasons and will change as the park matures over time. From bird watching areas, playgrounds, botanic gardens, sports fields, observation hills and sculpture parks, the patchwork of rooms offers endless recreation possibilities.

Salem Harbor Power Station

Working closely with Footprint Power and COOKFOX Architects, Terrain is helping to transform the existing coal and oil-fired power plant site into a state of the art combined cycle gas turbine facility.

Industry City Courtyard 5-6

Industry City is an aggregation of over 400 companies focused on craft and innovation. Terrain’s courtyard, one of 4, is dramatically set in the former Bush Terminal Industrial Campus- the nation’s first vertical factory. The courtyards, formerly railroad loading docks which delivered goods to the stacked warehouses and factories, are now a public gesture towards the community and the tenants of over 6 million square feet of workspace.

Play landscape be-MINE

The spectacular scale of this site – regarding both the height of the terril as well as its industrial heritage – is unique in the relatively flat surrounding landscape of Limburgian-Flanders. The intervention is a landmark on a large scale, but through its playable character it also reflects the small scale of a child. The values of the industrial heritage have been a continuous leading theme in the design process that resulted in an unprecedented playscape. Photo: Hannah Schubert
