[Restoration project]

Ballast Point Park

The Ballast Point Park is situated on the Birchgrove Peninsula in the inner reaches of Sydney harbour, Australia. The site was contaminated by former industrial lubricant production site.
The design uses world leading sustainability principles to minimise the project’s carbon footprint and ecologically rehabilitate the site. The environmental approach is further underpinned by site-wide stormwater biofiltration, recycled materials, and wind turbines for on-site energy production.



8 vertical axis wind turbines and an extract from a Les Murray poem, carved into recycled tank panels, forms a sculptural re-interpretation of the site’s former largest storage tank. The wind turbines symbolise the future, a step away from our fossil fuelled past towards more sustainable renewable energy forms.




Dominant new terrace walls sit atop the sandstone cliffs but these walls are not made of precious sandstone excavated from another site, rather from the rubble of our past. What once was called rubbish is now called beautiful. It is the new ballast. But it is more than this at play: It is the total composition of these recycled rubber filled cages, off set with concrete coping panels topped with fine grain railing, that allow these walls to sit confidently at the portal to the inner harbour.

Hammarby Sjöstad

Hammarby Sjöstad is Stockholm's biggest urban development project. Hammarby Sjöstad means ‘city surrounding Hammarby Lake’ and this 200 ha brownfield development was conceived to expand the inner city with a focus on the water, while converting an old industrial and harbour area into a modern, sustainable neighbourhood. This project very similar to my final work, including ecology and environmental sustainability.


When I visited the site already covered in snow everywhere. The view was obstructed by snow but even though it happend the site was the most attractive place.


Key Principles

• Inspiring sustainable development



• Developing an eco system



• Integrating with surroundings

Hammarby Sjöstad is a good example of the Swedish “green welfare state” approach to Eco-towns and shows how it can “promote sustainable development, new jobs, growth and welfare” into the future. As well as being ecologically innovative, it is also socially ambitious inline with the Swedish government mandate that all citizens should be provided with a decent, safe, affordable home that will be sustainable in the long term.

First London bike hire

I saw that was nearby the Waterloo station, I surprised that because It such good sustainable idea for improving public transport system in London. When I went to field trip last year at paris, they had already been operating. Exactly same system with this. It opens on 3 December, the system has enjoyed huge success, with its bikes being used for more than 43,000 journeys. Anyone with a Visa card or Mastercard can be able to their nearest docking station and borrow a bike.




Why take the tube or bus when you can cycle?

This application follows cycle hire program, you can find rental stations nearst to you and navigate through all the available station in the city.
