ascending Park-Walk, the path
levels out and a vast network of
nature, mushrooming across the
city, comes into view. A bridge
with vines cascading down to the
street below extends toward the
next block's raised public space.
Well high above the din, in this

Park-Walk helps to restore a true
sense of community and value,
turning unused spaces into
productive, healthy and
valuable parkland.
raised public park, is a web of
rooftop sanctuaries that consist
of commons and green community spaces, flowering gardens,
playgrounds, all designed to bring
people together and back to nature, helping to restore the balance
between us and the world we live
in. Here exists a network of nat-

ural growth, where every bridge
expands an oasis of green that's
limited only by our imagination.
Open-air space brings light and life
where once there were only more
empty building rooftops. ParkWalk helps to restore a true sense
of community and value, turning
unused spaces into productive,
healthy and valuable parkland.
The path turns up and away
from the river toward a new hotel
that has kept half of its roof as an
open-air café. Without Park-Walk,
this would have been another hotel
with another private, underused,
green roof. The heightened visibility in having a restaurant adjacent
to a park is a boon to its success,
in addition to being a nice amenity for the steady stream of ParkWalk visitors. As a rule, people go
where people are and, in Portland,
residents and tourists would come
to enjoy the gourmet local flavors
from a spot combining the seclud-

Park-Walk integrated with
building development.

ed serenity of a park environment.
The ability of guests to venture on
to the rooftop terrace and then walk
out across the new Naito parkway
garden bridge and down to a waterfront park to watch the boats go by
would be among the hotel's distinguishing trademarks.
Past the hotel, at a higher level on a neighboring building, are
greenhouses growing fruit, vegetables and herbs that could be sold at
a farmers market. Commercial activities would be limited to services
typically found in a park. Larger
rooftops could house pickleball
and tennis courts, public pools and
recreation fields that would give
young children a safe place to play.
There is no reason to compete with
the street's vitality, as Park-Walk's
goal is to provide a respite from the
urban streets.
A series of ramps, lifts and steps
continue up past vibrant community gardens and open grass areas,
