320 George Street

The jury stated:

320 George Street is a delightful, well-executed garden that negotiates the complexities of private, common and public spaces. The garden is a continuous series of intimate spaces featuring considered detailing, sensitive reuse of materials, and a lush planting palette. This garden is both striking and serene and illustrates how ordinary spaces can be transformed into the exceptional.
