This $200,000 project designed by 360° is confined to two separate car parking areas on each end of a historic inner city warehouse – essentially the only public open spaces available. Undeterred, the design interventions are clever, humorous and multi-layered including tree planting, a wall-fixed raised corten planter filled with scramblers, lines for a handball court, a ‘red carpet’ leading towards the side entry and various interpretive layers echoing the footprint of former elements.
The project exploits the site potential in a playful and surprising manner and is striking in its simplicity. 360° are commended for their part in the success of this well executed development led by architects, Allen Jack and Cottier.
