Westwood is a $600 million joint venture between international residential developer Urban Pacific Limited and the State Government’s Department of Families and Communities, in conjunction with the City of Port Adelaide and City of Charles Sturt.
THG created a tranquil space for the residents of the IBIS Care Aged Care Facility
THG were commissioned to create a master planning concept for the Coomera CBD area incorporating New Urbanism design principles. Theories on pedestrian cities were put in to practice, augmenting a mix of uses including education, retail, health and residential accommodation. THG created a space that reduced reliance on cars, promoted healthier living by encouraging regular exercise and promoted cycling and walking as the primary mode of transport
Creating a high quality urban infill master planned community on a site located on the fringe of the Guragunba flood plain on Queensland’s Gold Coast was no mean feat for THG. After obtaining approval for the first stages of the 73ha site, THG’s next challenge was to negotiate with the Gold Coast City Council to allow a mixed use development comprising residential, tourist resort, small scale commercial and retail uses.
“We want to set the standard for the region” was the brief given to THG when creating the residential development to be known as ‘The Ridge Urban Village’.
