One Thirty Art Studios, Wollongong

Constructed by studio owners, this garden was designed for gallery event spillout, welcome, quiet enjoyment and the display of sculptures. Made from completely recylced and local materials, the garden's feature is a serpentine gabion retaining wall with handcut timber  seat. Filled with recycled concrete aggregate and soil, this retaining wall provides perfect drainage for native rainforest plants like cordylines as well as  hardy exotic ornamentals. These form a soft foil for Orlando and the other artists' sculptures.
