Research and engagement
Project | Frasers Living Walls at Frasers Landing |
Client | Frasers Property Group |
Challenge | The Frasers Landing project is the first of its kind in Australia, and has a particularly strong focus on eco-conservation and preservation of the Indigenous heritage of the area. Living Walls is an innovative approach to engage the local community. The project will create a ‘living wall’ of vegetation that will grow directly onto the façade of buildings. It can also be grown as a separate structural system either adjacent, or attached, to a wall. |
Our Role | Creating Communities led the concept development process in consultation with the local community and key stakeholders. Relationships have been fostered with nearby Coodanup Community College and the Winjan Indigenous Community. |
Outcomes | Phase One of the project is underway. Two stand-alone Living Walls are being established with the involvement of the College and the Indigenous Community. Phase One also includes a research component that will monitor and assess the Walls as they evolve. Students will conduct the research and keep records on growing conditions and the Walls’ upkeep. This will provide essential reference data for future stages. |
