The Green Square Library and Plaza in Sydney, Australia, challenges traditional concepts of public libraries by placing the library underground and creating an innovative urban plaza at street level. Developed through a collaboration between internationally acclaimed design firm HASSELL, library architects Studio Hollenstein and Stewart Architecture, this project aimed to become the civic heart of the community within the Green Square Town Centre Precinct, Australia's largest urban renewal zone.
The plaza is designed as a vibrant "urban living room" that seamlessly blends built form and landscape elements. It features lush lemon-scented gum trees set in a verdant open setting, providing a welcoming and versatile public space for various casual and programmed activities.
A key challenge was introducing healthy trees and sufficient soil for the leafy landscape above the library while maintaining structural integrity and cost-efficiency. Citygreen's Stratavault system was chosen for its ability to maximize soil volumes while supporting an integrated pavement design. This system also incorporated large stormwater storage tanks, contributing to sustainable water management. It is notable for its environmentally friendly construction, using 100% recycled plastic.
