Contrast & form, transparency & light and expressive geometry – some buildings intended as statements or landmarks with its glass façades, open atria, curved facades etc.

Jacaranda season

It’s a flowering season in Sydney now, but outside of the season, jacaranda trees tend to lose their leaves (or at least many of them) & can look quite bare. The trees are deciduous in their growth habit, losing their leaves for part of the year. In Sydney in particular, they often turn yellow in winter & lose their leaves in late winter/early spring.

Created over 20 years by artist Wendy Whiteley, wife & muse of Australian artist Brett Whiteley, the Secret Garden is nestled behind Luna Park in one of Sydney’s most spectacular suburbs, Lavender Bay.
