Prince Bishops Park

Devereux Architects

Prince Bishops Park is residential-led with spaces, routes and homes laid out to respond to the site’s geographical contours, and take advantage of its south facing slope.

The masterplan was driven by a landscape philosophy based on a multi-functional green infrastructure related to the local area.  Public open spaces are strategically located to provide convenient amenities, including play areas for all ages with houses facing onto them to ensure natural surveillance.  Green routes generate a network of linked open and shared spaces, and swales and ponds facilitate sustainable drainage.
