The product of a successful design competition, Jacaranda Square, “The Everyday Stadium”, is the first new public space of Sydney Olympic Park. “Everyday Stadium”refers both to the Olympic legacy and the design concept itself, which features a large central open space, an edge of walls and seats and a large perimeter shade structure.

Cool, colourful, clean and green, the park features include a recycled brick pavement – a reminder of the nearby former brick pit, recycled materials and recycled water for irrigation. The green theme continues in the design with the polychrome green shade canopy and the glazed “pixilated” walls that encircle the space. This “complete project” successfully encompasses four design disciplines – landscape architecture, architecture, industrial and graphic design – to create a memorable open space.

In association with Deuce Design + Aspect Studios.
