100 Christie Street
Using placemaking to enhance usability of green space
Challenge
To transform the proposed St Leonards mixed-use redevelopment from 1,345m2 of public domain to 3,787m2, in collaboration with DeiCorp and North Sydney Council. The integrated upgrade project covers Christie Street Reserve, Chandos Street and Sergeants Lane, embracing the North Sydney masterplan and community engagement plans.

Insight
By providing a large variety of high quality public open spaces, including provisions for lighting, seating and public art, the project also presented a major opportunity to provide a much-needed social and business meeting point for the community, in a safe environment.
Solution
With a considered placemaking and accessibility approach, Scott Carver addressed the client’s vision to enhance the attractiveness and useability of this valued green space, as well as improve sight lines to the St Leonards station northern entry point.
