Street + Garden has added lightweight concrete to the comprehensive palette of materials and processes that allow them to provide you with original design solutions for your project. Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) provides opportunities to design strong but hollow shapes that are considerably lighter than solid concrete. There are many options for colour as can be seen in these designs for seating recently supplied to projects in Coffs Harbour in NSW and Hamilton in QLD.
Street & Garden are a team of industrial designers who specialise in urban design and street furniture. This expertise and understanding of materials and manufacturing processes allows for the development of creative and efficient furniture design solutions. Their unique service provides design though to manufacture and supply.
Street & Garden work in collaboration with architects and designers of all disciplines to develop creative design solutions that support and enhance overall project goals. The inspiration and rationale behind each design is unique to each site and becomes an integral part of the site identity.
Working with Aspect Studios in Sydney recently, Street & Garden were able to help them convert their ideas for seating at UTS Alumni Green into a Gold Award in the Landscape Design category as part of the 2015 Sydney Design Awards programme.
