CIVIC LANDSCAPE
PLACE LABORATORY
The historical narrative of the site becomes a useable and much-loved space for all. The landscape architects have demonstrated a significant amount of in-depth historical research to inform the design and heritage interpretation response. This was influenced further by user audits to determine how people might use the site in the future.
The project includes significant remediation of the site as well as the development of a robust return brief to ensure the public realm would transform the surrounding precinct as it evolves. The high-quality finishes and bespoke elements elevate the site into a delightful and playful civic space to be enjoyed by all.
The square supports a new residential community and provides an outstanding new civic space for nearby workers. The project demonstrates success of a multi-layered and complex project where the landscape architects as lead designers have ensured the creation of an authentic and compelling space.
