The Garden Party
The Garden Party is a public art installation that gracefully activates the urban streetscape of the Mission Rock development, offering an open and inclusive space for dining and social connection. Inspired by classical greenhouses, Min Design constructed a visually open yet defined geometry that encourages pedestrian interaction, creating a welcoming‘ street room’ along the paseo where passersby can pause and engage. This modern reinterpretation of Victorian-era conservatories features a distinctive upward-curving oval form, meticulously crafted with custom rails, and blending architectural precision with organic grace.

Central to the design is its living canopy: two existing trees creatively integrated to provide natural shade as they mature. This thoughtful approach ensures the pavilion evolves into a beautiful, organic retreat. Navigating site constraints like fixed trees and utilities, the design team created a structure that offers a serene counterpoint to its urban surroundings. As the area develops, The Garden Party serves as a tranquil haven for visitors to relax and connect within the vibrant energy of Mission Rock, embodying a balance of openness and intimate gathering.
