In an effort to beautify Fountain Alley in downtown San Jose we developed a set of modular outdoor pieces to create a more habitable space catering to the needs of humans.
The arbor features high-tension cabling to support plant growth and create much-needed shade in the alley. Flexible plastic sheeting offers a dry respite for anyone caught in the rain.
The bench seat opens, offering up games like twister and checkers, and the boardwalks can be used to connect a series of arbors together.
