Monteiro Parklet

Parklets are extensions of the sidewalk that function as a public leisure and convenience space.
Therefore, while two rotary parking spaces can be utilized by 40 people a day, a parklet, or “live parking”, attend approximately 300 people in the same period, and also provide a bigger social interaction among the citizens, and a democratic land use, not only orientated to cars. This little parklet interventions have a huge reach in space transformation.
Parklets brings the city essence to a small space, which can be used for a break in the day, resting, meet a friend, to read a book, and manly for none of it and so many other things, and that is the beauty of the democratic use of public space.
The Seeds Parklet enables the free access for people with reduced mobility in its full extension and was developed in modules in factory to allow a fast assembly at site in few hours.
Inspired in the forms and movements of the nature, using natural material and fluid forms, there were applied different tones of wood and an asymmetric design of the seat, in form of a leaf.
