In partnership with DWP Architects, Lat27 was engaged to design and document a Community Garden for the St Lucia University of Queensland campus.

The aim of the garden is to showcase the University of Queensland’s community & sustainability ethos. The chosen site is located at the entrance to the campus and will also serve as a formal arrival to the campus for visitors.

The primary drivers for this garden include:

• Creation of a formal arrival to the campus
• Provide a productive garden of a high standard
• Take advantage the natural landform of the site
• Celebration of views and capturing breezes across the site
• Create shaded passive gathering opportunities
• Integrate with the existing campus design aesthetic and materiality
• Enhance accessible connectivity across the site
