PORTFOLIO
The clay pavers provide a vibrant colourful element demarcating the pedestrian walkways. Custom designed street furniture, which included the litter bins and bicycle racks in front of Planet Fitness, was supplied by WilsonStone street furniture and installed by Greenacres Landscape Contractors. The plant palette consisted of the following species: Aristida junciformis, Aloe cooperii, Dietes bicolor, Crocosmia aurea, Watsonia sp., Carissa macrocarpa, with hedge planting consisting of Viburnum odoratissimum and Murraya exotica. Juncus effuses, interplanted with Aloe cooperii, and was used on the roof gardens. Zamioculcus, Spattiphullum and Kentia palms were used at the southern entrance to the basement parking area. Plane trees from 1000L containers, supplied by Just Trees, were used in the streetscape to tie in with the existing Plane trees in the Club precinct. Drip Irrigation, rain sensors and soil moisture additives incorporated in the design and construction of the project in order to reduce the water requirements of the soft landscape installation.
