Redfern Oasis

Strategic architectural alterations to this Redfern terrace prompted the client’s desire to enhance the appeal and usability of its outdoor areas; of which, to the rear, it had just established a far more intimate relationship. Existing site features including a Frangipani tree, stately Lemon Scented Gum, heritage sandstone blocks, as well as the client’s very own plant collection were key protagonists in the design. Coreten steel elements create raised planters and modulate space whilst an overlay of additional edible and native plants makes for a veritable biodiversity hotspot.
