A neighbourhood set in stone, The Quarry is Brisbane's most elevated and celebrated new development. A project of unique regeneration, with 100,000 subtropical trees replanted into the site and tiered ridges providing dramatic vantage points of the landscape.
A New Legacy were commissioned to enhance the visitor experience within the main architectural pavilion and sales centre.
Our aim throughout was to develop a strong sense of connection with the local environment, achieved through spatial installations that link the architecture, brand and landscape design and provide an inspired customer journey through the two architectural pavilions.

Within the 'Inspiration Gallery', mobile oversized picture frames are staggered to provide a meandering visual journey for the visitor, encouraging exploration at an individual pace and orientation.
The panels can also be configured to create a variety of unique spaces, becoming a circular meeting area or linear room divide.
Materials such as reeded glass allow the natural light of the site through and provide a layered aesthetic with planting and graphic design woven seamlessly together
