Frasers Property’s new Eastern Creek Quarter features an Australian-first 'revolving retail' concept as part their entertainment precinct 'ECQ Social'. Within the activated outdoor space features a custom-designed playground conceptualised by Arcadia Landscape Architects.
Arcadia’s concept called for organic form pod play structures. The structures were to be elevated from the ground plane and act as the connectors between play elements.
Tilt was initially engaged in completing a design study to review the concept and assess the feasibility of construction and core playground compliance.
We were then engaged to manage the detailed design, construction, and installation – considering site integration, user experience, materiality, safety, and ease of ongoing maintenance.
Rope climbers, a tunnel experience, slide, log steppers, and a fireman’s pole all contribute to the overall play and adventure experience.
The curved and laminated timber beams create a playful and natural linear exterior for the pod play structures, complementing the outdoor landscape’s retail centers.
