just completed… masterplan for Old Farm, Strawberry Hill
Posted Friday, 10 August
Just completed… masterplan for the National Trust (WA)’s property – Old Farm, Strawberry Hill.
Continuing our association with the National Trust, the team has just completed a masterplan, conservation plan, and interpretation plan for ‘Old Farm, Strawberry Hill.’ Situated in Albany, the place was Western Australia’s first farm, and was the first property vested in the National Trust.
Complementing the ongoing conservation works, the masterplan has put together a long-term vision for the development of the place. It outlines a range of interpretive techniques designed to provide an immersive and active experience rooted in the stories of the place. One of the key themes is drawn from the transportation of plants, and on-going human sustainability and colonisation, interaction between the Mineng people and the European settlers.
Interpretation is woven through the plan and informs the landscape design and the architecture of the new building which draws on the aesthetics and ideas of a Wardian Case.
Mulloway worked with Taylor Cullity Lethlean Landscape Architects, Paul Kloeden, Alltrack, Tom Heinrich, Caroline Grant and John Viska, and the Trust’s team.
