Central Park Public Domain has been named as a winner at the 2020 Landscape Architecture Awards. The urban precinct development by Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House was hailed a “significant legacy project” that is “set to be enjoyed by Sydneysiders for years to come”.

The Sydney-based Turf Design Studio project was reimagined from the former Kent Brewery site (also known as the Carlton United Breweries or CUB site) into a mixed-use complex of 11 retail, commercial and residential buildings around a centrally located landscaped area.

The main public domain in the middle, comprising lawns, a pathway, artworks, seating, plants, trees, sandstone trims and heritage brickwork and designed in collaboration with Jeppe Aagaard Andersen, was also awarded the 2020 Green Good Design Award for Green Urban Planning/Landscape Architecture earlier this year.

The jury said “Central Park Public Domain is a significant legacy project, a distinctive and richly layered urban landscape set to be enjoyed by Sydneysiders for years to come. This new collection of spaces, in its scale and arrangement, materiality, historic references and pedestrian connectivity, deftly stitches new uses and forms together with the old city fabric and the memories it evokes. The outcome is a celebration of the public realm, reflecting this project’s careful execution, from masterplan through to staged delivery.”

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2020 Landscape Architecture Awards.
