Human beings have an innate instinct to seek connections with the natural world, and Hollis Park in Newtown is a space that greatly enables opportunities for such interactions. With the whimsical urban sanctuary serving as a backdrop to the collection of dwellings, moments of respite were strewn throughout, in the form of natural spaces. These provide outlook, guide circulation, and enliven social activities in a manner that mimics the experience of the park itself.

Each dwelling sits at a different level to ensure privacy. These slope to meet at the centre of the site, where a kiosk and public space are further integrated through a community garden and seating area. In weaving both private and public open spaces throughout the dwellings, nature becomes a constant experience. The sight of fallen leaves gliding through the water, the sound of birds calling from above – these are scenes that recall the ‘essence’ of Hollis Park.
