A mixed-use development with an ecological heart
Challenge
The redevelopment of the Kirrawee brick pit as a mixed-use residential precinct required significant care and sensitivity. Home to critically endangered Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest (STIF) vegetation, the site is subject to strict protection regulations. The site also has important heritage features.
Insight
Comprising over 4 hectares of land and being home to one of the most endangered and protected vegetation communities in the Sydney Region, the former Kirrawee Brick site has endured significant transformation over time.
Solution
This sustainable development integrated residential and commercial buildings with the site’s important ecological, cultural and heritage components. We worked with the community to develop quality solutions for protecting the site’s sensitive areas. Heritage-based materials were used throughout, and the parklands enhanced and extended the site’s protected areas.

Design inspiration
Design inspiration
The design was inspired by the original heritage and historical use of the site. The extensive use of industrial materials such as brick, timber and stone helps re-establish this connection. In addition to the revegetation of the native endemic STIF forest, as a whole, we want Kiln Park to be a place where the local community can come together and get a sense of the site's past, present and future.
