Urbis/Cistri Design 2022 Year in Review

DESIGN 2022

YEAR IN REVIEW

Acknowledgment Of Country

Urbis acknowledges the important contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make in creating a strong and vibrant Australian society.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners on whose land we practice and where our offices stand - the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin, the Turrbal people, and the Whadjuk Nyoongar people.

We recognise and respect the connection to their land, cultural heritage and community, and we pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Showcasing our national and international work

2022 has been a remarkable year for us within the Urbis and Cistri national and international design practice. We are privileged to collaborate and partner with incredible clients across Australia and overseas to bring value to projects that both challenge and excite us.

This year has seen our dedicated landscape architecture, urban design and master planning studio grow to over 120 strong across offices in Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth , Gold Coast, Geelong, and Parramatta.

This Year in Review is a collection of 79 of our favourite projects over the last 12-months, shared by members of our team. This is just a selection of our design work often as part of a broader integrated offer. These are projects that we feel proudly showcase the depth and breadth of the unique Cistri and Urbis design offer.

Some projects included started well before 2022 but only now can we share them publicly. Please take the time to enjoy the array of amazing, creative and diverse projects culminated herein from across our multi-skilled and talented team.

A better future, by design.

What would you like Brisbane to look like – in time for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond? From July to September of this year, we prepared a raft of ideas to spark conversations about the future of our inner city.

Project: Raffles Place BID Placemaking, Singapore

Client: Raffles Place Alliance

Services: Design, Planning, Research, Engagement, Spatial/ GIS

Sectors: Commercial, Government, Mixed Use

Cistri + Lopelab, in partnership with Raffles Place Alliance, created a placemaking and activation framework plan in elevating Singapore’s premiere business district as the “Central Buzz District” where talent converges around opportunity, creativity and entrepreneurship.

The plan assisted on reviewing initiatives and outlining where the plan sits within URA’s planning and strategic framework. The Plan undertook an appraisal of RPA’s Vision, Objectives and KPIs, framed by an assessment toolkit developed to assess the long list of initiatives and present them with respect to their place making budget, value and their place making opportunities. A Space audit was also done to assess the current situation of the core space for activation, with inputs from Human Movement Data (HMD).

Finally, an implementation strategy was developed by tabulating the findings for each objective on a Hardware, Software and Org ware framework. The opportunities and recommendations were concisely summarised in a Place Priorities Plan and Potential Location of Programs by 2023.

The pioneering Implementation Plan acknowledges the significance of building Raffles Place by leveraging on existing resources and assets, testing light, quick and cheap solutions and tapping on existing partnerships for win-win situations.

The 64-hectare Victoria Park/Barrambin will be a natural retreat, and urban park for adventure, discovery and reconnection.

As a living landscape, the park's design and natural features will meld this history with art and culture in a way this is unique in Brisbane.

This is an easterly view from the east edge of a wide balcony associated with living areas. The foreground of the view is characterised by pitched and flat roof forms of 118 and 120 Brooke Street. The mid-ground composition predominately includes residential dwellings in Brook Street, the existing Coogee Bay Boutique hotel and some vegetation, including the upper parts of the beach side Norfolk Island Pine Trees which indicate the edge of Goldstein Reserve. The background distant view includes open water in Coogee Bay, a section of Wedding Cake Island when available at low tide and a wide section of sea-sky horizon

Client: Simmatown Pty Ltd

Hotel

View Sharing, NSW

There is no change to the foreground composition or spatial arrangement of built forms in close views. The proposed development introduces a new built form into the mid-ground composition and replaces part of the existing built forms on the site, occupying space which is currently under-developed. The lower complying parts of the proposed development will block a narrow horizontal section of the view including parts of the beach side tree canopy and open water within and beyond Coogee Bay. The additional height sought as shown in blue rises to a height defined approximately by the existing boutique hotel ridgeline and extends to the north and south beyond this existing roof form, to block a minor extent of open and undifferentiated water and the upper canopy of some beachside vegetation. The non-complying upper parts of the proposed development do not block locally significant visual features such as Wedding Cake Island or Dolphin Point. The non-complying upper parts of the proposed development do not dominate the view, significantly alter the scenic quality of the whole view and create a minor extent of view loss. The composition to be lost is not considered as iconic, scenic or highly valued in isolation or a 'whole view' the meaning and formation of which is described in Tenacity .

Sector: Health

Our landscape design allows plants thrive in sunlit groves. It provides gardens and places to pause, contemplate or gather. A public green space forms a central part of the design and creates a space that the hospital community can enjoy. We created inclusive space for all people and drew on the First Nations connections to the land of the Awabakal peoples.

The Yard project aimed to formulate a pioneering placemaking and activation strategy with the rejuvenation of a former container storage yard, for DTGO and MQDC.

The plan is also car-lite, maximising walkability and connectivity with surrounding developments and facilitating small and mediumsized multi-use open spaces.

To ensure flexibility, cost efficiency and sustainability, the plan incorporates the use of recycled shipping containers. Besides giving a nod to the former site usage, this unique building material will also be an attraction in itself.

Investing in activation will strengthen the target audience’s emotional bonds to The Yard, encouraging visitors to come frequently, stop and linger, spend time and money, and feel a sense of belonging and pride in the project.

Our design and retail economics teams worked collaboratively to deliver a solution that integrates other consumer research provided by the client.
