PROJECT: DYEWORKS PARK
LOCATION: SOUTH YARRA, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA
CLIENT: CITY OF STONNINGTON
COLLABORATION: TTM Civil Consultants
AWARDS: RAIA MERIT AWARD – URBAN DESIGN
Urban inner city park located on a former industrial dyeworks factory site, juxtaposed between high rise public housing, and gentrifying contemporary townhouses and apartments. Celebrated amongst many practising LA’s as an influence on the direction of local contemporary LA design. The dyeworks theme is reflected in the bold use of contrasting patterned bands of coloured exposed aggregate concrete paving. Melbourne’s vernacular use of bluestone is explored, with the highly resolved and creative use of the contrast between natural weathered stone surfaces, and crisp diamond sawn surfaces and shapes.
