ST DOMINIC'S COLLEGE YARNING CIRCLE, KINGSWOOD
Client :
St Dominic's College
Description:
Arterra provided landscape design for the proposed playground improvements at this high school in western Sydney.
A key component was the inclusion of a well shaded and First Nation's People inspired Yarning Circle in the centre of the main College quadrangle. Arterra prepared landscape concept designs including a detailed 3D digital model to realistically convey the intent to the college and stakeholders.
The College sought input from local First Nation's People to also respectfully include local, indigenous art themes. The finished product is a testament to what can be achieved on a modest budget through clever design, and meaningful cross cultural collaboration. It includes robust and bespoke shade structures to increase the useability of the space throughout the year.
