The Bloom Exhibition is on at the Gallery of Australian Design in Canberra. The exhibition showcases landscape projects from around Australia that demonstrate how the built environment can affect our well being.

Jeavons have two projects in the exhibition - Clifton Hill Railway Project and the Isabel Henderson Kindergarten.

If you are in Canberra or visiting before the 9th June, we recommend you visit this beautiful public gallery.

Jeavons have won the 2011 Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (Vic)
Urban Design award for the Clifton Hill Railway Project Landscape.

The Jury noted that the design delivers on a technically challenging brief and balanced a range of expectations through a skilfully delivered and well resolved design. “The result is a beautifully executed landscape which demonstrates the integral role that a landscape architect has in delivering a multi-dimensional project varying in scale, programs, stakeholders, and contexts.”

The jury’s full transcript can be read on the AILA Victoria webpage.
