Rouse Hill Town Centre
data, awards, description –
This award-winning Sydney town centre incorporates clever urban design and ESD to optimise public space.
A comfortable balance The aim for Rouse Hill Town Centre was to find equilibrium between its concurrent roles of meeting place, marketplace and traffic way – all while maintaining links with nature. Additional design considerations attend to the community’s needs, its imminent expansion and climatic environment.
From vision to reality The centre features all the facilities of a small town, including streets and a town square, providing residents with everything they need in one location. There is a shopping-centre precinct, commercial space, cinemas, education, library and community facilities, a health and medical centre, and good transport links.
United success A consortium of three architectural firms – AJ+C, Rice Daubney and Group GSA – delivered the design. In 2010, Rouse Hill Town Centre was named one of the five winners of the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Global Awards for Excellence.
