Challenge

A contemporary lifestyle hotel within a mixed-use urban node required a public realm and landscape that supports guest experience, outdoor comfort and destination character — balancing activation with rest, shade and identity.

Our Role

Place Dynamix delivered landscape design and streetscape integration for the hotel precinct, shaping arrival areas, pedestrian connections and leisure spaces.

Key Moves

  • Developed entry plaza and outdoor lounge spaces in dialogue with architectural intent
  • Implemented planting and shade strategies aligned with hospitality comfort metrics
  • Coordinated materials, paving and seating systems to support activation
  • Integrated lighting and furniture to enhance nighttime ambience and usability

Impact

The design reinforces the hotel’s quirky lifestyle identity and comfort, creating a public realm that supports guests, passersby and activation throughout the day and evening.
