Vendome, Rooftop Outdoor Park

Vendome is a 785 sqm rooftop outdoor park atop K-Mall in Kakkattil, Kozhikode — a town surrounded by lush greenery yet lacking structured public gathering spaces. Conceived as an act of City Nature, the project transforms an underutilized commercial terrace into a vibrant social landscape, addressing a clear urban gap through intentional design.

“A new, functional urban nature designed for how it feels, how it functions, and how it is lived”

Guided by social interaction mapping, the rooftop is organized into spaces for quiet retreat, dynamic interaction, events, and social dining — all connected through barrier-free circulation and layered planting. Rather than recreating an imagined "natural" past, Vendome is a new, functional urban nature designed for how it feels, how it functions, and how it is lived — where some moments are planned, and many emerge organically.
