The Calyx, Royal Botanical Gardens

Located in Sydney’s Royal Botanical Gardens, the Calyx is set to be an iconic landmark that will serve as a horticultural display, research and education center. The innovative landscape presents the Calyx as a jewel in the gardens with its elevated position and sense of arrival. Two leading radial paths provide a powerful visual and physical connection between the new built form and the wider gardens. The array is composed around a central ‘Iris’ podium offering flexibility for various events. The highly adaptable central podium features a water mirror pond for quiet gathering and contemplation, covered for event floor space or adapted for horticultural displays.
