Our design establishes a unique, fresh vision for the much-loved Greville Street that revels in its edginess, and draws upon its fringe counter-culture and history of botanical display that has been a constant in the precinct.
Akin to a haberdashery, the bespoke, craft-inspired furniture suite weaves throughout the streetscape and into Grattan Gardens. This palette of bright colours set against a braided ground plane recalls Greville Street’s urban groove, and evokes new and old textiles, fabrics, and fashion.
Widened footpaths across Greville Street aim to re-encourage equitable social exchange through outdoor café dining, casual seating mixed with planting, and footpath trading zones. A new focus on diverse planting reprioritises the pedestrian and allows for the proverbial pause, with moments to reflect, unwind, or simply Instagram under the catenary lights.
Our work at the Greville Street Precinct is an ongoing collaboration with the City of Stonnington, commencing in 2015 with a design development masterplan. As a multi-staged project the first portion, Grattan Gardens, serves a benchmark for the remainder of works, testing design principles (are bright colours divisive or engaging?) and giving substance to pragmatics (how many trees could offset the perceived detriment in loss of on-street parking?).
The endorsed urban masterplan and traffic option was refined into six planned stages, anchored around key spaces along the street, linking Prahran Station at the Porter Street end through to the Town Hall Frontage and King Street closure at the Chapel Street end. The We built upon lessons learned through refined design moves and construction optimisations by adapting and improving.
Greville Street rightfully resounds to the footsteps of a very rich history. Researching and distilling historical patterns of local urbanism help to inform our proposal, supported by archival photographs, anecdotal evidence, site investigations, and reputation.
The project was the 2019 AILA WE-EF After Dark Competition Regional Winner.
