Taman Fateta

Designed to inspire productivity and foster creativity, this garden offers university students a comfortable and less formal space to study, collaborate, and unwind. The design goal is to create an environment that feels like an outdoor café, blending the lush beauty of tropical greenery with the clean, understated elegance of minimalist hardscape. This unique combination provides a refreshing and inviting atmosphere where students can escape the rigidity of traditional indoor spaces and tap into their limitless creativity.

The garden’s tropical-minimalist concept is at the heart of its design, creating a harmonious balance between nature and structure. Lush tropical plants, such as palms, ferns, and flowering shrubs, are strategically placed to provide shade, improve air quality, and infuse the space with vibrant energy. These natural elements are complemented by a minimalist hardscape that features clean lines, neutral tones, and simple geometric forms. Materials like concrete, wood, and stone are used to create pathways, seating areas, and platforms, ensuring durability while maintaining a sleek and modern aesthetic. The layout of the garden is designed to encourage both individual focus and group collaboration. Scattered throughout the space are comfortable seating options, such as benches, lounge chairs, and modular furniture, arranged in clusters to mimic the casual, inviting atmosphere of an outdoor café. These seating areas are interspersed with small tables and workstations, providing students with the flexibility to work on laptops, sketch ideas, or engage in group discussions. The open design allows for easy movement and interaction, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. Soft lighting is installed to create a warm and welcoming ambiance during evening hours, extending the usability of the space.
