Our strategic response was to address the lack of amenity and poor user experience by facilitating access and circulation through the site and establish a series of spaces for reflection and contemplation appealing to the broader community. We established an efficient pedestrian and vehicular network, on site stormwater management system, introduced a chapel, toilets, picnic shelters and reflective water basins.
The structure of the master plan hinges around a prominent axis of deciduous trees referencing the local vernacular. The axis is set in alignment of the suns track as it travels across the sky. Two large water bodies terminate the axis, encircled by a ring of large Native trees, provide sheltered places for intimate reflection.
