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 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.

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.
