The new dam is shaped to provide habitat for fish and bird species
Category 2 A & B: Planning and Design
Winner: Bosjes Wine Estate by Square One
A multi-layered landscape escape amongst
the farmlands, engaging both children and
adults. This project shows good preparation
for indigenous material to flourish. Water is
used practically and to entertain, play parks are
unique and outdoor dining areas are attractive
– the modern day botanical garden. This was
an old farm block where beautiful objects
are nestled into an exquisite garden, creating
place where there was none. The project is
an example of innovative and contemporary
design that does not alienate itself from the
environmental context of the estate. It shows
successful appreciation of the wild and use of
water wise practices.
A multi-functional bridge provides a place to gather

Planted amphitheatre steps encourage interaction with the dam
