We put inviting timber platform seating along the courtyard’s southern edge, where it makes the most of the limited sunlight that penetrates the space. There are new trees, and a support for vines growing from planter boxes below. Screens shelter occupants from wind.

Monash University Parkville Courtyard
We created this courtyard by revitalising a narrow gap between two tall buildings on Monash’s small Parkville Campus.

The platform seating and vertical elements on the courtyard’s periphery gradually increase in elevation.
The beautiful timber offers a hospitable and tactile experience in a useful place for students and staff to socialise, learn and relax. It creates a space that adds significantly to the culture and experience of the campus.
