experience of landscape by Anangu –

the landscape while maximising the visitors’ experience of the desert’s subtle beauty. To achieve this, the car and bus parks were sited well back from the building (100-300 metres), with a series of stabilised desert sand winding paths leading to the building entry and from the building exit. A landscape ‘island’ was created around the building in which visitors have a little time to pause in the desert as they approach and leave the building. Courtyards within the building are delineated with desert earth walls that protect indigenous vegetation.

The bus, car park and paths were carefully sited to avoid existing trees and large shrubs. Growth of preserved vegetation and regeneration has been so prolific that very little revegetation

The main centre of the promenade is effectively designed at two levels, allowing views over the seawall from the rear of the promenade plus adjacent high level pedestrian connection to the development behind.

This allows for essential access requirements for the drainage maintenance whilst accommodating major level changes between the seawall and adjacent private residential development.
