Today’s event in Merrylands marked an important point in a project that has been progressing with steady purpose since our involvement began. Standing on the upper levels gave a clear sense of how far the site has come and how much coordination sits behind a structure of this scale. CENTRAL QUARTER is a mixed-use tower rising 21 floors and delivering 194 apartments across a range of configurations. It was a valuable opportunity to meet the teams driving the project forward. R

For over a decade, architects and engineers have been wrapping buildings in plants. Green façades and living walls have become symbols of sustainable design. They cool the air, soften concrete skylines and promise harmony between the built and natural world. But many of these buildings are now showing what happens when design ambition meets time, weather and water.
