Micah started Heroes and Horses in 2014 after realizing that, despite the thousands of PTSD-related nonprofits, and the billions spent every year, the statistics on veteran suicide and addiction were growing rapidly. The initiative preceeds redevelopment of the area by property developers HSB, Veidekke Bostad and Einar Mattsson.Micah was raised in upstate New York and joined the military in 2003, later becoming a US Navy Seal and paramilitary contractor. The proposal encourages public participation and forms part of the Kalejdohill urban regeneration platform. Consequently, Rotunda suggests a microamphitheatre with dual spatial qualities marked dichromatically – an internal enclosure in blue for moments of privacy and serenity, while making room from which to enjoy surrounding vistas on the external aspect of structure that is finished in an earthy grey. The proposal for Rotunda consists of offset arc structures which provide seating and enclosure to offer another layer of tranquillity within the park.Ĭircularity is adopted to create privacy within the public space. Rotunda forms part of a larger project of Superbenches conceived to regenerate Kvarnbacken Park in Jakobsberg, which covers an area of 7 acres north of central Stockholm. “Superbenches, Auteur Benches in a Stockholm Park.” DiarioDESIGN, May 18, 2017 “World’s Top Designers Reinvent the Classic Park Bench.” CNN Style, May 15, 2017 Here Because.” Elle Décor Italia, May 12, 2017Īlyn Griffiths. “In Stockholm There are the Most Beautiful (and Strange) Benches in the World.
