Sephora was the first multi-unit development to gain certification under the EnviroDevelopment National Technical Standards Version 2.
VERDé Design Group’s innovative landscape design surpassed the requirements of each category, including ecosystem protection and maintenance, waste minimisation, environmentally responsible material usage and water efficiency.
Commissioned by Pointcorp Development, VERDé completed concept design, detailed design, construction documentation and contract administration for this boutique apartment development in one of the most highly sought-after locations in Brisbane, with West End and the CBD on its doorstep.
A whole of cycle approach to sustainability was implemented, with consideration given not only to plant selection and siting requirements but to the entire process, from design, through construction, to ongoing maintenance.
The selection of a limited plant palette, featuring mature tree and palm species, created a strong identity for the development and complemented the surroundings, while the layered approach to arrangement provided a sense of place and the look and feel of a lush, established landscape setting.
Early engagement, close collaboration and the use of 3D modelling to assess design progression resulted in time and cost savings for the client, and delivery of a constructed project that remains true to the original intent.
