Parklet 1 - With Planters

A Compact Kerbside Parklet for Greener Streets

Parklet 1 – With Planters is a streamlined kerbside parklet designed to enhance pavements and high streets where space is limited but visual and environmental improvement is needed. Its simple form focuses on planting rather than seating density, making it suitable for locations that benefit from greenery, definition and passive use rather than extended dwell.

Typical locations include:

• High street pavements and shopping areas
  
• Town centre pedestrian routes
  
• Retail and café frontages
  
• Civic buildings and public facilities
  
• Residential streets undergoing placemaking upgrades

This model works particularly well where subtle intervention is preferred over large-scale street installations.

Parklet with Planters as a Green Streetscape Feature

As a parklet with planters, this design prioritises planting as the primary function. The integrated planters introduce greenery at street level, helping to soften hard urban landscapes and improve the visual quality of the public realm.

Planting benefits include:

• Introducing vegetation into dense urban environments
  
• Defining space without creating barriers
  
• Supporting biodiversity and urban greening initiatives
  
• Creating a calmer, more welcoming street presence

The planters also act as a gentle buffer between pedestrian areas and surrounding activity.

Modular Parklet System for Pavement Installation

Parklet 1 forms part of Broxap’s wider modular parklet and parklet system, allowing it to be specified as a standalone feature or combined with other parklet configurations. Supplied without a base, it is designed for direct installation onto pavements, ensuring it integrates naturally with existing surfaces.

Modular advantages include:

• Straightforward installation on prepared pavements
  
• Compatibility with other parklet layouts and street furniture
  
• Flexibility to scale or reconfigure over time
  
• Suitable for temporary trials or permanent schemes

This modularity makes it a practical choice for councils and designers testing new approaches to street use.

Durable Materials for Urban Environments

Designed for outdoor public use, the parklet combines a galvanised steel frame with FSC®-certified timber planter elements. Materials are selected to deliver long-term performance while maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance.

• Hot-dip galvanised steel frame to ISO 1461
  
• Choice of FSC® hardwood or FSC® treated softwood

This ensures the parklet remains robust and visually consistent in busy public locations.
