PROJECTS

The sophisticated design for a public recreation hub on the edge of Sydney’s second CBD emphasises the contiguity of city and landscape, creating a sense of reciprocal spectacle.

In Sydney’s CBD, a small, collaborative project makes a significant contribution to the city’s public spaces, encouraging us to consider multiple perspectives and our own place in the universe.

Ostensibly a simple sequence of spaces, Riverside Green is a skilfully designed facility in Brisbane’s South Bank Parklands that is adaptable enough to allow the public to curate its own urban experience.

A neglected post-industrial area of central Brisbane is transformed into a vibrant arts precinct through a collaborative private delivery model with a nuanced approach at both the strategic and the fine-grain scale.

In Perth, the Elizabeth Quay precinct has proven popular but its success depends on “unfinished business.”

The collaborative design for Yagan Square in the heart of Perth returns the site to its origins as a people’s meeting place and links previously disconnected parts of the city.

In the evolving urban precinct of Sydney’s Green Square, the unconventional organization of a library and its plaza – designed by Studio Hollenstein in association with Stewart Architecture – is driven by an urban approach that loosens the division between inside and outside.

Chrofi with McGregor Coxall’s revival of the city centre of Maitland, New South Wales, is a sublime lesson in addition and subtraction. Chrofi’s gateway building is a delicate aperture in the otherwise solid streetscape, forging a strong connection between city and river.

At Perth’s new urban square, Yagan Square, flexibility and history provide a platform for engaging with changing notions of national identity, Reconciliation and civic life.

The Gold Coast’s new outdoor stage cleverly melds landscape and architecture to provide a flexible, functional and surprising space for future gatherings.

A collaboration between five architectural practices, RMIT University’s New Academic Street revels in diversity as a series of “theatrical stage sets” reinvigorates utilitarian buildings and reconnects them to their urban setting.

A former car assembly building redeveloped by Tridente Architects and Woods Bagot plays a central role in the ongoing development of the sixty-one-hectare precinct of Tonsley.

A valuable and historic national project is treated with solemnity and respect while embracing context and symbolism.
