Hop Park is a project that instantly creates a green space that requires low maintenance and makes the least change to the original structure. The space can easily ?hop? and adapt to different areas while tackling the problems occurring in the city.

Shma, in collaboration with Garnier, the leading skincare brand in the natural beauty industry, and Bangkok Metropolitan, has created a 550-square-meter park on the busy Patumwan skywalk. The project aims to show how green space can be a part of our daily life. This space potentially slows down the pace of life at this public transportation hub, provides meeting points, and creates a nice environment for that passerby. This space is a prototype that can be adapted to other areas later on.

1. Green Air Zone: Bangkok is buried under dust and smoke. Several studies show green space can help filter out pollution and purify the air. Over a year, a tree can produce enough oxygen for two people, absorb 9-15 kilograms of carbon dioxide, and capture 1.4 kilograms of dust and pollutants.

2. Blue-Green Oasis Zone: Plants, as well as green space, don?t only grow on land. Blue space is also a crucial part of the ecosystem. Water plants can help remove bacteria, filter water, and reduce water pollution.
