How can over 800 acres of former farmland be reimagined as a new economic generator and public amenity for the next generation?

Tabor Oak Innovation Park & Residences emerges as a visionary project on the site of an aging community, signaling a renaissance for the region. Collaborating with local developers and architects, the endeavor seeks to revive the historic native ecosystems of the region while offering a beacon of hope for the community. Inspired by the concept of reviving the Tabor Oak ecosystem, the innovation park embarks on a transformative journey, employing permaculture techniques and afforestation strategies to recreate a lush forest ecosystem. Residents are poised to live, play, and work amidst the verdant landscape, fostering a profound connection to nature reminiscent of ancestral lands.

At the heart of the design lies a profound understanding of historical context, framing the project as a catalyst for sustainable development and economic revitalization. By harnessing permaculture principles for water management and soil regeneration, the landscape undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis into a thriving forest ecosystem. This transformation not only restores the natural beauty of the region but also serves as an economic generator, providing opportunities for residents to thrive within a harmonious blend of nature and community.

The forest of the Tabor Oak Innovation Park & Residences is a testament to resilience and innovation, defined by diverse character zones that offer a range of experiences for residents and visitors. From the coastal scrub forest with its breathtaking sea views to the revitalized ephemeral marsh serving as a vital water collection and purification system, each zone contributes to the richness and biodiversity of the landscape. A new artificial lake, strategically positioned as a defensive measure against flash floods, doubles as a vibrant recreational core, inviting individuals to immerse themselves in the beauty and serenity of the region's natural surroundings.
