The fourth annual Adelaide
PARK(ing) Day on Friday,
September 20 celebrated the transformation of 31 car parking
spaces by 31 teams with 31 different
interpretations of what public space could
be, encouraging us to use our imagination and
think beyond the standard use of city space.
The annual PARK(ing) Day event continues
to grow in Adelaide and internationally, not
only in terms of the numbers of car park
spaces transformed, but in terms of those who
engage with the parks, and experience their
cities in a different way for a brief moment.
This year’s teams created experiences
for people that were thought-provoking,
entertaining and interactive. From photo booths, art galleries, gardens, outdoor fi tness,
parkour, libraries, lounge rooms, games, soap
boxes and bocce to balloons, plants and comfy
chairs.
With so many unique and creative concepts
the PARK(ing) jurors, including former
Adelaide Thinker in Residence, Charles
Landry and former Integrated Design Commission leader Tim Horton, along with
their fellow jurors, had the tough decision of
awarding the overall winner.
That honour went to the team of Stylecraft
and Walter Brooke with their mix of live
music and breakdancing, drawing the
attention of a multi-generational crowd who
were captivated and transfi xed, something
you don’t often see on Waymouth Street on
a regular Friday afternoon. In addition, for
the third year running, Woods Bagot took out
the People’s Choice Award achieved through
their use of physical and virtual space.
If the reimagining of car park spaces on
PARK(ing) Day is something you loved and
want to see more of, the Adelaide City Council
currently has a Parklet Program that could
see the public benefi ts extend to a 12-month
timeframe.

PARK(ING) DAY 2013 The highs, the greening and the comfy chairs
BY JANELLE ARBON
STYLECRAFT/WALTER BROOKE – ‘ROPED IN GREENHOUSE’The installation ‘Roped in Greenhouse’ was the
brainchild of design companies Stylecraft and
Walter Brooke. The Waymouth St space showcased
local talent such as breakdancers and musicians.
Through talking to Emma Dodson from Walter
Brooke and Elise Fimeri and Natasha Ugrinic from
Stylecraft, their PARK(ing) Day belief is that it’s
about the Adelaide cultural and design scene
coming out of the woodwork and expressing
themselves in a more urban context. Their goal
was to provide a platform for artists and talented
individuals to self-promote and to carve up the
pavement, which is normally not a usual occurrence
throughout the day. There was a large, exciting
public interest within this installation, as it was
demographically diverse with the different acts.
Congratulations to Walter Brooke and Stylecraft for winning the 2013
Overall Award

CBD Gets Creative by raquel GazzOla, rashelle caddles
and rOccO cavutO
If you made it to the CBD on Friday,
September 20, you would have
witnessed something out of the ordinary, PARK(ing) Day. Instead of finding
metered car spaces, you might have seen a
table tennis match, a wishing tree or even
bocce. PARK(ing) Day is an international
annual celebration of turning urban city
car spaces into urban city parks. Adelaide
is one of the most participated PARK(ing)
Day cities in the world along with Paris and
San Francisco.
The installations took on all forms and
shapes from the arts to interactive street
performances, all with the underlying focus
on community and design.
DESIGN INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA – ‘THE WISHING TREE’ The diA created their ‘wishing Tree’ on waymouth
St. The community could stop and embrace their
inner child by creating their own masterpiece with
pop-sticks, strings of wool and other crafty items
at this space. The goal of the diA’s installation
was to increase the creativity of the community
and give people the opportunity to express their
creative spirit.
ENOKI – ‘BOCCHED PARK’interior design company enoki created their
installation ‘bocched Park’ in leigh St. with
this excellent location, enoki created a grassed
laneway for a game of bocce allowing community
involvement. Their aim was to create community
interaction and increase awareness of how
PARK(ing) day changes the atmosphere of the
streets.
PARKING DAY 2013We wanted to provide a spectacle which would generate conversation and interaction between the performers, the community and the temporarily altered urban fabric.

The Jury thanks the profession in
the state for the opportunity to
consider such a fi ne body of work
and congratulates all those involved
on the high standard achieved. It was a pleasure
for us to be so excited by what we saw and to
be forced to debate at such a high level. We
were excited by the diverse entries across all
categories and unanimous in our belief that
with the energy, commitment, creativity and
innovation demonstrated here, not only will the
profession continue to develop – it will continue
to lead. We were assessing real quality.
Overall, the jury considers this year’s
submissions comprise a very solid body of work,
not only in terms of planning and design, but
in terms of product, much of which exhibits
high levels of craft in detailing and construction.
We have also been impressed by the expanding
array of innovative project processes, innovations
led by landscape architects in their roles both as
clients and as consulting professionals. With the
ever-expanding range of challenges that typify
the contemporary environment, this bodes well
for the profession’s future.
These innovative processes include programs
to coordinate key stakeholder involvement
and decision-making, trans-disciplinary
interactions and community engagement.
2013 AILA AWARDS
JURY CHAIR’S REPORT 2013 AILA SOUTH AUSTRALIA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AWARDS
BY CATHERIN BULL
They include innovative and client-targeted
reporting and communication methods,
real-time scenario testing, monitoring,
benchmarking and research.
Best of all, such innovation could be
observed across the project spectrum and from
the inner city through the suburbs and the
urban fringe to the remotest of sites. Planning
and design have been used as they should, as
investigatory methods to defi ne and solve the
many problems that typify our landscapes,
whatever they are and wherever they occur.
Congratulations again to all entrants and
especially the winners in this exceptional
period of development for the profession. The
landscapes and communities of South Australia
are better for your contributions.

A Light TouchA sense of artistry characterises the highly anticipated renovation of Magill estate restaurant by Pascale Gomes-McNabb, one of the country’s most exciting interior architects.
by Leanne amOdeO
For many of the country’s newest
hospitality fit-outs the emphasis
is on minimal, pared-back design.
The trend is particularly evident
in Adelaide where bars and eateries such as
Udaberri and Nordburger are making a strong
impression. These interiors forego excessive
styling and over-the-top embellishment in
favour of a robust material palette, precise
joinery and an unquestionable attention to
pascalegomesmcnabb.com.au

detail. The end result may look simple but each
design element possesses a complexity that is
intentionally unapparent.
When Penfolds re-opened their Magill
Estate restaurant in late August they too
revealed a new fit-out that was breathtaking
in its simplicity. The much-anticipated
renovation may be minimalist, but the level
of craftsmanship and high quality details
and finishes is anything but ordinary.
Penfolds was smart to call in arguably one
of the country’s top designers for the job,
Pascale Gomes-McNabb. The contracts team
at Schiavello’s South Australian branch was
also engaged as construction managers to
translate the Melbourne-based interior
architect’s vision.
This renovation was always going to be a
challenge because of the building’s ‘glass box’
typology. What Gomes-McNabb had to work
with was essentially an elevated floor, a ceiling
and lots of glass walls. The outside would figure
prominently in the interior design, but this is
not necessarily a bad thing, considering the
winery’s picturesque location and impressive
views. What was important, according to Steve
Lockwood, Schiavello’s State Director, is that
“Penfolds found a synergy between their wine,
their food and the interior design so that it
spoke as one to the market”.
Gomes-McNabb was incredibly respectful of
the building’s existing architecture and her final
design has a light touch. Rationalised insertions
and minimal interruptions characterise the new
fit-out and bespoke detailing gives Magill Estate
restaurant its resounding design expression. The
light fittings are delicate handblown glass, the
joinery a sumptuous mix of copper, brass, timber
and blackened steel and the seating is upholstered
in a range of differently textured fabrics. “It is
exceedingly eclectic,” says Lockwood. “The risk
was that all these unusual shapes, lines and
dimensions wouldn’t work together, but they
do. They all elegantly dovetail into each other so
that it looks like no other offering in Adelaide.”
The design’s most apparent point of
difference is the kitchen’s segregation from
the dining area. Gomes-McNabb has bucked
the current fashion for visible kitchens and
kept this one well and truly hidden behind
glass panelling printed with an aerial view of
the vineyard. The ‘theatre’ has been taken out
of the design equation so that the emphasis is on a fine dining experience. Placing the food
preparation in full view would have created
unnecessary visual clutter and changed the
intended ambience.
The spectacular views already offer so
much to look at and Gomes-McNabb’s design
must be commended for holding its own, even
in harsh daylight. When the sun floods the
interior it’s the individual bespoke elements
that stand out and as soon as the sun goes
down the interior is at its most attractive. The
glass light fittings echo the lights of the city
and their soft glow adds to the restaurant’s
refined ambience. “It’s a different room in the
evening,” says Lockwood. “The design comes
alive and works so well with the building’s
surrounding aspects.”
Gomes-McNabb’s uncompromisingly
bespoke vision lends the restaurant a sense
of artistry that reflects the excellence of Magill
Estate’s food and wine. It is a vibrant synergy
befitting one of Australia’s finest restaurants.

Penfolds’ showcase restaurant, Magill Estate, reopens and takes South Australian dining to a new level. With a thrilling, contemporary interior created by Pascale Gomes-McNabb, the space reflects a sense of place, and creates a synergy between the interior, wine, food and ambience.

We are pleased to partner with Penfolds, who shares our passion for uncompromised service and quality.
