TPPS - Sensory Garden
The Thorndon Park Primary School Sensory Garden was designed to activate an underutilised area of the school grounds, creating a slower, quieter space for students to explore, reflect, and engage in mindful activities.
Projects
Thorndon Park Primary School
Previously an open, boggy grass area, this project transformed the site into an immersive natural environment designed to grow and evolve with the children.
East Torrens Primary School
The East Torrens Primary School project set out to transform an outdoor area into a natural creek environment, creating a space that encourages exploration, play, and learning through interaction with natural elements.
Roonka Adventure River Park
The Roonka Adventure River Park project challenged us to create a unique aerial play experience over water for Scouts SA. The brief required a complex yet safe flying fox installation that integrated seamlessly with the existing lagoon and surrounding landscape.
Dernancourt Primary School
Creating two complementary spaces — a Crow’s Nest lookout and a Japanese-inspired garden — that together support the school’s international language program.
Glen Osmond Primary School
This project set out to reimagine a narrow, underutilised space along the southern edge of the school oval. Previously limited by its irregular shape, large established trees, and boggy winter conditions, the area had long posed design and usability challenges.
Seacliff Community Kindergarten
The Seacliff Kindergarten project focused on reimagining the existing outdoor play environment to create a more engaging, cohesive and active space for children. Working closely with the site’s established landscape elements, the design sought to enhance natural features while improving usability, flow and play opportunities.
Brownhill Creek (Wirraparinga)
A major aim of this project is to recognise the significance of the shelter tree in Kaurna culture and foster connections made with the Kaurna community over the past nine years and take these connections to a new level.
Pop-up Community Space
This proposal aimed to introduce a unique short-term functional space adjacent Henley Square that coincides with Adelaide’s festival season, considers the Henley Beach identity and adds to the local communities’ assets.
Morphett Vale Preschool
A playful, immersive landscape that invites children to explore, learn, and connect with nature. The combination of custom play structures, lush planting, and shaded spaces provides a balanced environment — safe, engaging, and full of discovery.
Mylor Primary School

Hawthorndene Primary School
A strong emphasis was placed on flow and level resolution to ensure accessibility, safety, and ease of supervision.
