The redesign of Vinomnapark is a forward-looking response to urban challenges such as the urban heat island effect and the need for social cohesion. By combining history, ecology, and modern urban planning, a multifunctional park is being created that enhances the quality of life for the residents.

Strengthens both population and biodiversity.

 

The project is divided into three areas: Vinomnaplatz as a vibrant meeting place for cultural events, Vinomna Park with quiet and active zones, and the nature-oriented playground of the Markt primary school. Extensive tree plantings, flower-rich meadows, and water features provide cooling, recreation, and ecological diversity.

​

A key design element is the ground-level fountain in Vinomna Square, surrounded by shady trees and seating. Within the park, a monumental sequoia tree makes a striking statement, while diverse schoolyard plantings create habitats for insects. The square's sustainable water management system is based on sponge city principles, featuring permeable surfaces and targeted rainwater infiltration.

​

The playground offers children creative nature experiences with shaded areas, a drinking fountain, and a surface for chalk drawings. Existing trees were preserved, and new planting areas enhance the overall experience.

 

Vinomnapark demonstrates how green infrastructure, cultural heritage and social functions can be combined in a sustainable urban space – a model for climate-adapted urban development.
