Urban Forest

 

The urban forest is the lungs of YUNITY Park.

From the start, we envisioned it as a burst of social, ecological, and economic benefits—something precious and enduring, designed to last for generations. We wanted a space seamlessly integrated with the design of existing structures, designed for relaxation and connection, for meetings outside the office, as a key element of the urban community with a focus on natural diversity.

The urban forest is a relaxation space for people working in our office buildings, offering moments to spend time among the trees or simply enjoy the view from inside while tackling work tasks.

We created the urban forest for both people and plants, fostering a lifestyle connected to the outdoors, especially during the warmer seasons, with biodiversity that will evolve and change with the cycles of the seasons.

For more relaxed, productive, open, and happy individuals, who, when coming to work, know they can enjoy the outdoors, in nature, during coffee breaks, team meetings, client gatherings, extended sessions, or quick brainstorming moments.

The urban forest supports biodiversity and has already become a habitat for birds and animals. Squirrels visit the park in the morning for acorns from the oaks, while goldfinches chirp throughout the day, filling the birch trees as they feed on their seeds.

The urban forest brings numerous benefits, the most notable being the reduction of air pollution and noise pollution. It acts as a natural barrier against noise and provides protection from winds. Equally important is its role in regulating the local temperature, as urban forests help cities adapt to climate change.
