Creating a Landscape with Water and Greenery
Hamanako Garden Park was constructed as a venue of the international horticultural exposition Pacific Flora 2004 with the theme of "New Lifestyle with Flowers, Greenery, and Water." Based on the theme, we designed a pleasant and lively waterfront in the Midori-no-Sato area, with the beautiful background of the existing mountains and river. For the Fureai-Garden area, we designed a children's playground that provides places and opportunities to learn through playing in nature. We expect children to invent plays with their vivid imaginations. This park remained even after the expo closed, and has enlightened a new lifestyle to the locals.
