2020 National Landscape Architecture Awards: Landscape Architecture Award for Gardens

Nightingale 2.0 by SBLA Studio and Rebecca White

Jury citation:

The Nightingale 2.0 gardens demonstrate a different approach to rooftop and vertical gardens through the use of native plants that are suited to the microclimates created by built form. The project draws from naturally occurring landscape systems that parallel the microclimatic condition and explores alternative plants to those typically found in urban environments. The rooftop gardens provide a beautiful backdrop to the communal spaces of the development while the vertical garden delivers an enchanting cascade of stag horns that welcomes residents and visitors on their arrival.

Location: Fairfield (VIC)

Aboriginal Nation: Wurundjeri
