Landscape
Architecture

The first impressions for almost any site is the landscape setting. A well designed and executed landscape design which compliments a site, enables practical, function use in terms of levels, access and layout, and enhances the aesthetics of the site is critical.

St Marys Childcare Centre - Childcare

The St Marys Childcare playground was developed in close co-ordination with the centre, and the associated church who leases the grounds to the centre. The church grounds date back to early settlement, and all work was subject the tight excavation and heritage restrictions.

The brief was strongly focused on adventure play, and the use of natural, organic finishes throughout, with substantial native planting, trees, timber and bush rock. The result is a very exciting, contemporary and complex play space with a wide range of activities and creative areas to explore.

Carlingford Rd, Carlingford - Apartment Block

This luxury apartment complex features a vibrant, contemporary landscape design incorporating room for canopy trees and complimentary native themed planting with high-quality out door landscape finishes and lighting. An exciting Communal Open Space area at the rear of the development seamlessly incorporates under cover outdoor entertaining facilities with a Bar-be-que, table and seating including entertaining space, plus a small playground area for the kids.

Pinnacle Apartments, Miranda - Apartment Block

The landscape design for Miranda Pinnacle incorporated a high-quality central walkway which doubles as the main entry point for the occupants of the building, and a public walkway link between Pinnacle Street, and the public park located at the end of University Road. This link will ultimately connect with a cycleway adjacent the rail line. As such, this central core through the site incorporates quality finishes including class 1 concrete planter walls, natural stone paving and unique lighting. Angled, organic, flowing planter beds articulate to seamlessly incorporate bench seating, feature planting including deciduous trees offering seasonal colour and textural changes, and light weight pergolas for shade. This blend of materials and organic design ultimately creates a central corridor through the site which is inviting, dynamic and unique, with constant change throughout the seasons.

This design approach and material blend is extended to two beautiful communal open space rooftop areas above each of the buildings. These rooftops provide additional break-out space, with quality furnishings including tables and bench seating, barbeques and pergolas as well as a common room and toilet facilities for year-round communal entertainment.

Endemic trees and shrubs have been incorporated along the southern portion of the site to give residents in the apartments overlooking the rail line future views through the dappled foliage of canopy trees which include Grey Gums, Iron Barks and Turpentine, while giving rail commuters a pleasant natural setting against the southern elevation of the building for their commute.

The themed planting design, generous use of advanced canopy trees and shrubs, and the creative design and quality materials and furnishings for the central walkway and rooftops result in a high quality outcome for the residential apartment project, in a market where this approach is uncharacteristic.

Elladale Deconstruction, Maitland - Major Projects

Conzept was involved in a challenging heritage conservation project in the heart of Maitland. Located in the center of a public housing site was an aging remnant farmhouse of heritage value, which had deteriorated to the stage of being dangerous to the residents. The brainchild of a local consultant, Herd Architects, the concept was to 'deconstruct' the farmhouse, and use the available materials, including hardwood beams from roofing & the sandstone from walls to create community gardens and facilities including customized furniture. The results are a fabulous, inclusive and interactive community space that the occupants love to use.
