The Karwarra Australian Plant Garden is a tranquil botanic garden situated in a cool mountain environment of the Shire of Yarra Ranges, with landscaped areas containing over 2000 native plants and 1300 di erent species. It provides a natural attraction for a great variety of Australian birds.
ID have provided ongoing design advice and created entrance signs for this important Australian garden.
Glen Eira City Council’s award winning Aviary Garden was created to attract native birds by providing the habitat they require. To assist people’s understanding of the garden and its structure, ID created two interpretive signs within the garden. These signs provide information about birds people may encounter, their feeding habits and the environment that has been created for them in this garden.
Gribbles Pathology (now Healthscope) was a well established brand name in Victoria and South Australia. ID were commissioned to create a cost e ective update of their branding including interior design. A lockable pathology cart was also designed incorporating drawers for equipment and sharps disposal. The result gave patients a secure and confident feeling that they were in safe hands in an hygenic environment.
Packer Park, in Carnegie, Victoria, is a magnificent park off ering something for everyone.
The all-abilities adventure playground provides huge amounts of fun and activities for children and
the pathways that meander through the park enable residents to take in the beauty of the
landscaping. The wetland is a popular spot to admire the bird life and look for frogs. Bike riders have
plenty of fun on the velodrome. ID created and provided artwork and construction advice for the
velodrome and park signage.
Glen Eira City Council developed the cultural and botanical trail through Mallanbool Reserve for visitors to learn about the original inhabitants of the area, the Kulin. ID designed and installed signage telling the story of the Kulin culture, using etched brass plates and large panels of native Red Gum. Recently, under the guidance of the talented Ian Bracegirdle, ID participated in the design of sound totems matching the original signs.
Wrattonbully is a large wine region on South Australia’s Limestone Coast. An extensive cave, sealed in 1917 was rediscovered in the early 90’s on the property of Schultz Vineyard. Spanning 270 metres under the vineyard, it includes a touching memorial of the past – a beautiful hand-carving in limestone, ‘F. J. Charter 1911’ – a local who died on the battlefields of France in 1917. New paving, lighting and preparation of a large chamber for the occasional dinner or lunch under the vines has made this a unique destination for wine aficionados from around the world. ID created interpretative signage for the site.
