Warren and Mahoney were engaged to design the new buildings and Boffa Miskell was subconsulted by WAM to provide landscape architectural services, including landscape concept design, developed design, detailed design and supervision of landscape implementation.

The LCM was looking for an attractive garden setting to complement both the new development and the existing buildings. The new buildings were arranged around a central courtyard with places to sit and meet with relatives and friends as well as an attractive outlook from the apartments. A strong connection to the existing units and community centre was important.

The Boffa Miskell design team created a modern, colourful and eclectic feel to the landscape which provides detail and interest for the residents. This was been achieved by the use of native plantings, contrasting clipped hedging and the selective use of more traditional plants such as floribunda bush roses, lavender, rhododendron and agapanthus.

Communal vegetable gardens were also included and have been thoroughly embraced by the residents.
