Cuchillitos Park
Located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, this park is based on a geometry that has adapted to the existing topography. The park sites on a large slope that has level differences as large as 30m. To form a coherent whole, Menis Arquitectos created a series of paths configured to the geometry and divided the space into 3 zones. At the west end is a circular esplanade that connects to the entrance. In the east two paths rise to the viewing platform, while the southeast features a winding path that weaves back and forth around planting beds. The park also features a small skate park as well as a jungle gym area for children. The park is dotted with seating designed by cutting large boulders into furniture forms. The chairs, chaises and benches have been placed to take advantage of the views. [Designboom]
