Jury comment
This project is a beautiful refurbishment of Frankston’s Station Street Mall. Its careful consideration of minor and major constraints, fine detailing and opportunistic creativity all contribute to this clever piece of water-sensitive urban design. Brilliant elements – such as the central connecting swale and non-prescriptive spaces, combined with a wonderfully designed and executed timber decking and soft lighting – provide the industry with a great civic design precedent, and give Frankston locals and visitors a special space to enjoy.
Station Street Mall Frankston is located in Frankston, Victoria on the land of the Bunurong people.
