Interface Landscape
It was important for this forecourt to be a unique, captivating space with strong and long lasting integrity within a school environment of lightweight commercial building finishes. Materials that patina and age gracefully such as timber, rammed earth, bluestone and raw concrete were used throughout the project for this reason, while the vegetation was selected to soften the hard edge of the existing buildings and paved infrastructure. Vines and high plant density aim to create an overgrown feeling, enhancing the sense of time, while delicate, colour-rich foliage and flowers aim to create a mythical aura once the canopies of the trees develop and mature.
