Legend

history “One of the oldest parks in Adelaide was officially reserved for recreation purposes in 1858. In the 1840s agriculture, market gardening and quarrying were established in the valley.

Concrete pits were used to store horse manure for the market gardens and to prevent pollution of the creek, while stone quarries provided sandstone and slate for buildings. In 1915, the 51ha park was first declared a National Pleasure Resort under the Nationals Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to preserve river red gums and riparian zone habitat.

In order to support the curved facade of the hidden stairs which reminiscent of the leaves, the technique being used is bridging multiple timber stud together and then apply “skin� on to have asymptotic curve.

Column and Beam will be join together with primary and secondary beams in pairs. Junction between main beam and column more complicated. Complex geometry for facade and fitting-out
