Engaged by Molonglo Group to install a 'potentially temporary' garden which shifted the vibe on the site away from 'business park' towards 'rambling native garden'.
12,000 native plants were installed: a combination of short-lived, fast-growing wattles to create atmosphere and effect, paired with many plants — including wildflowers, native shrubs and lilies — selected for their ability to be transplanted and reused in other areas of the site if the 'temporary' part of the brief became a reality.
Structures
The steel structure over the boardwalk referenced the idea of scaffolding, noting the under-construction nature of the rest of the site.
I designed an outdoor meeting room for tenants of Building 7, and the broader public, to be able to find a sheltered and enclosed spot to sit in the garden — complete with a solar-powered pump in the corten steel pond.
I take on a limited number of commissions each year — gardens, courtyards and interiors, Australia-wide.
