Verdant Visage is a response to the rapid development of Westmead and Parramatta by means of visual connection supplemented with natural elements that extend the green corridor between the two growing urban hubs.
The defining feature of the project is its bilateral plan separated by a lush courtyard. This orientation enables prospect refuge towards Westmead and Parramatta, whereas the central courtyard functions as a key public space for the community. The role of the central courtyard is further accentuated by a series of colonnades encapsulating the perimeter of the court.
The theatre block is a tiered building that strongly reflects the sloped terrain of the site, while also engendering a sense of revelation as users gradually ascend the building to connect with Parramatta in the distance. The library block is four-stories with an atrium adjacent to the central courtyard which spatially connects the interior and exterior of the building.
