Golden lane stories

My first impression about the Golden Lane estate is the absence of life. The cold concrete glass, the repetitiveness and the lack of green in between the buildings.


My project explains an intrusion of the plant. Breaking through the existing structure of the estate that before was the image and now will be a part of the image.


Fight free plants!

After living in the pot for years…


Carefully kept in the grid, within the rules of the pot. Not too big not too small, just a bit of cultivated flower and maybe some greenage. This is the metaphor for the Golden Lane Estate.


The plants take over. Bored of the grid, bored of the overwhelming, boring, stiffness of the grid that overrules life and reorders everything into an artificial environment. It is time for a change, a slow but sure breakout to freedom, bringing out a richness of life, colors and shapes.


This is the result of a ten day project!
