SWISS COTTAGE OPEN SPACE
Last week I visited Swiss Cottage Open Space by Kathryn Gustafson with Ana.
The park is organised around a main open plaza with a pool and undulating slopes and with little enclosed sitting areas on its boundaries.
I was more attracted to the small enclosed spaces I liked the patches of turf and mixed borders around the benches rather than the central space itself partly because the pool had no water at all.
Another interesting intervention was the position of the football pitch below ground level in front of the leisure centre: it did not obstruct the view of the water feature from the leisure centre and did not spoill the rest of the scheme with its fences.
