Invercargill City Streets Upgrade Stage 1: Don and Esk streets

A collaboration with Invercargill City Council, Isthmus Architects and Downer, the Invercargill City Streets Upgrade project is a case study in placemaking.

Invercargill’s inner-city streets have been transformed into ‘places for people’ in line with the Council’s vision to create an inviting and vibrant Central Business District where people want to stay longer, shop and socialise. Sustainability and natural elements were a priority, as well as inspiring design, incredible durability, comfort, functionality and variety. Beautiful timber seating, organic shapes, bright pops of colour, the choice to gather or sit solo and bike racks were just some of the 100+ products we contributed to help bring the city’s streets to life.
