Descriptions

PARK(ing) Day 2015 was a light-hearted urban intervention in collaboration with Narrow Marrow café, transforming two on-street parking bays within the George Town World Heritage Site into a temporary outdoor room. The one-day installation reimagined everyday urban space, inviting the public to pause, gather, and experience the street in a different way.

​

The design introduced simple, adaptable elements that extended the café’s presence into the public realm, blurring the boundary between private and shared space. Seating, planting, and spatial framing created a comfortable and engaging environment that encouraged interaction and conversation.

​

Although shortlisted as a finalist, the project was ultimately about participation and experimentation, demonstrating how small, temporary interventions can shift perceptions of urban space and highlight the value of people-centred design in the city.
