Hughes Street Carpark
Located in the centre of Cabramatta, the Hughes Street project was an Architecture + Landscape collaboration with Collins and Turner to integrate verdant greenery with a vibrant and colourful façade treatment for an existing well-used carpark. A green façade was the cool and lush foil to the colour-field aluminium screen façade.
The landscape treatment included a streetscape upgrade that provided a linear parklet along the street frontage with site-specific seating under the shade of deciduous trees. The health and resilience of these shade trees are boosted by technical innovations such as structural engineered soils and irrigation from the treated and stored water caught from the car park roof. This project was completed in 2020.
