WE ARE <strong>MALA</strong><br />
<strong>MALA</strong> studio is a Landscape Architecture and Urban Design practice that<br />
provides high-end design and project management services across all sectors<br />
and scales. The studio places a strong emphasis on creating site specific<br />
designs founded on a process of strategic investigation and analysis.<br />
We believe good design should be simple and respond directly to the site and<br />
its user. For us, Landscape Architecture is ultimately about the environment<br />
and people. We aspire to create dynamic and sustainable spaces that invite<br />
people to engage with the world outside of their houses, offices, factories and<br />
classrooms.<br />
Our design process and creative drive is born from an open studio environment<br />
where collaboration and freethinking inspire unique and high quality outcomes.<br />
We are not afraid to experiment with new ideas or to push the design beyond<br />
its initial brief.<br />
<strong>MALA</strong> is a team of highly experienced designers who have worked on some of<br />
the most high profile and award winning projects in recent times.
OUR PROJECTS<br />
<strong>MALA</strong> studio has quickly established a broad cross section of clients and<br />
projects since its establishment in 2014. We have worked across varying<br />
scales from small residential courtyards and gardens to large scale mixed use<br />
developments. We have designed expansive soft landscapes and wetland<br />
systems as well as hardscape infrastructure, streetscape and shopping<br />
centers. We pride ourselves on finding high-end design solutions for each and<br />
every project we undertake regardless of size or budget. Here is a selection of<br />
our most recent projects.
CLEC SITE: DOCKLANDS PARK<br />
In 2015 Places Victoria engaged <strong>MALA</strong> to create a Master Plan for the<br />
Cummunity Learning and Education Centre (CLEC) Site in Melbournes<br />
Docklands. Stage One of the of the Master Plan was subsequently funded and<br />
<strong>MALA</strong> developed and documented the design. The brief for Stage One was<br />
to create a new park setting for the relocated 2015 M Pavilion on the corner<br />
of Collins Street and Harbour Esplanade. Key features of the design include<br />
hard and soft areas for the M Pavilion, two large tilted lawns, custom seating<br />
elements, decrotive gardens and new feature trees. Stage One is currenty<br />
under construction with completion due in June 2016.<br />

MOORABBIN JUNCTION<br />
In 2014 <strong>MALA</strong> undertook a submission to reimagine the Moorabbin Junction<br />
retail hub in Melbourne’s South East. The design proposed to connect ground<br />
level strip and boutique shopping precincts with podium level community<br />
facilities, playgrounds, and food precincts via a series of public plazas,<br />
walkways and amphitheater spaces. The submission drew on many ESD<br />
initiatives including the filtration, and storage of storm water and grey water for<br />
reuse to contribute urban greening. Extensive podium gardens, street level<br />
rain gardens and horizontal gardens were designed for the site.<br />

ROSENEATH DEVELOPMENT<br />
In 2014 <strong>MALA</strong> studio was engaged to design and document the public,<br />
communal and private open spaces for a new multi level mixed use<br />
development in Clifton Hill. Working closely with Fieldwork Architects <strong>MALA</strong><br />
undertook rigorous and in depth investigation and analysis in order to develop<br />
an exciting and unique landscape design that enhances the residential<br />
dwellings and provides a high level of communal amenity. The hero of the<br />
project is two elevated, linear green spaces which simultaneously provide<br />
private and shared gardens, seating, paths and breakout spaces. These<br />
spaces also connect the development to the street and blur the line between<br />
what is private and public.<br />

THE LODGE<br />
As part of the celebrations for the Centenary of Canberra <strong>MALA</strong> studio and<br />
Inglis Architects undertook a submission to design a new official residence<br />
for the Prime Minister of Australia on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. An<br />
imaginative and sensitive landscape was designed which embraced the<br />
woodland setting and incorporated the private and official entertainment and<br />
relaxation areas. The landscape elements included outdoor entertaining areas,<br />
a private swimming pool area and tennis court, private outdoor entertaining<br />
areas, areas for quiet reflection and relaxation, woodland sculpture walks<br />
and rare wildflower gardens, a water gate and jetty, a kitchen garden, and car<br />
parking and drop off areas.<br />

RICHMOND DEVELOPMENT<br />
In 2014 <strong>MALA</strong> was engaged to design and document the external spaces for<br />
a high end private residence located in Richmond. The brief called for high<br />
impact landscape spaces to compliment the bold use of materials selected by<br />
the Architect. The three key spaces consisted of a double volume courtyard<br />
space, an entrance garden and a roof top terrace. A series of raised planter<br />
boxes, roof gardens and vertical gardens were designed in addition to<br />
traditional garden spaces.<br />

HORSE TRAINING COMPLEX<br />
Located on the Mornington Peninsula, Pinecliff provides state of the art<br />
facilities in horse training, and environmentally sustainable management<br />
and landscape design. The original site of 50 hectares had been cleared for<br />
grazing and the site has now been transformed by the creation of a system of<br />
linked wetlands. These progressively filter waste water and enable its reuse<br />
throughout the site. A new 7.6 megalitre dam provides the final stage of this<br />
system. Water birds now flock to the site.<br />

ST. GEORGES RD APARTMENTS<br />
In 2015 <strong>MALA</strong> studio was engaged to design and document the public,<br />
communal and private open spaces for a new multi-level mixed use<br />
development in Fitzroy North. The project consists of 34 apartments and<br />
ground level retail. The key landscape feature is a large central planted void<br />
which acts to divide private and shared spaces whilst providing protection and<br />
garden spaces. Images courtesy of Assemble Projects.<br />
