At the centre of our vision is the preservation of the character of the existing park landscape and finding an appropriate response for this special location with a new, self-assured address that does justice to its message.

The three buildings with their distinctive roofs embrace the landscape, integrating the high-quality park and symbolising harmony between architecture and nature, as well as protection and connection. The chosen design language reflects the clarity of German building culture, while at the same time embracing the vastness and light of Australia.
The integration into the landscape is achieved in a multi-layered way – on the one hand through integration into the immediate surroundings and the chosen design language, and on the other hand through the relationship between the buildings themselves.
