Context

Street+Garden were engaged by Urbis to design and supply a series of sculptural entry features that would line a newly constructed land bridge at Stockland’s Aura development. These uniquely formed blades which include a rainbow-like colour scheme were installed at Aura’s Display Village, along with custom umbrella shelters mounted to our Pebble Platforms.

The dynamic blade arrangement elegantly traces the pathway, while its colour-shifting gradient creates a striking visual experience whether viewed from afar or encountered at pedestrian level. The sculptural form commands attention through its refined geometry, with each uniquely angled blade catching light throughout the day to reveal distinct chromatic variations on either surface.

Opportunities

There was a unique opportunity for temporary shade structures to be installed at the Aura Display Village. To avoid the need for any in-ground footings or onsite concreting, S+G developed a custom ‘umbrella’ shelter that is mounted atop our Pebble Platforms. This precast concrete platform acts as an above-ground footing, allowing the structure to be repositioned around the area as needs change.
