Grounded in Culture, Designed for Community
Context
Maliyan Park in North Watson was developed as a direct response to community input, with strong emphasis on incorporating Ngunnawal culture, supporting everyday recreation and preserving the natural environment. As part of this collaborative effort, Street + Garden was brought in to supply furniture that would seamlessly align with the park’s cultural, aesthetic and functional goals.
Working alongside stakeholders and the Dhawura Ngunnawal Caring for Country Committee, Street + Garden delivered a suite of outdoor furniture that adds comfort, usability and visual warmth to the site. Earth-toned finishes were carefully selected to blend with the endemic plantings and natural surroundings, while allowing the pieces to sit comfortably among the interpretive features and public artworks distributed throughout the space.
Opportunities
This project offered Street + Garden the chance to contribute to a space of genuine community value – where education, culture and everyday life come together. Our custom furniture solutions support informal gatherings, rest, and recreation, while helping reinforce the connection between place, story and design.
