Australian Fine China WA, Australia (2012)

The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority’s Australian Fine China precinct is a mixed-use redevelopment of a historically significant former factory site in the inner-city suburb of Subiaco, Perth.

The site was home to the Australian Fine China porcelain manufacturing company for 85 years, until its closure in 2006.

HASSELL’s design references the site’s history to deliver a landscape that combines urban elements, artworks and heritage features to echo past uses and reflect the social and cultural values of the area.

Classic Plaza Seats and Tables complement the heritage feel of parts of the design, providing places for the community to picnic, relax or work outdoors.

The Aria two-seaters and curved configurations fit around planter corners with 90 degree connector modules, and in sheltered nooks.
