Landscape masterplanning and detail design of the extensive historic former Mont Park asylum site. The ultimate design provided a residential subdivision integrated into both the former historic asylum garden estate, and the surrounding indigenous woodland conservation areas. A range of former historic hospital ward buildings were readapted for apartments. An extensive open space network and trail system centred on the historic grassed oval, which is surrounded by Canary Island palms and Bhutan cypresses.
