Northern Beaches Council’s transformation of Thomas Stephens Reserve at Church Point set out to create a more attractive, pedestrian-friendly and accessible waterfront public space. The wider upgrade included an extended timber boardwalk, restored sandstone seawall and accessible ferry gangway, alongside new landscaping, seating and tables that create more opportunities for people to stop, gather and spend time by the water.
botton+gardiner worked with Northern Beaches Council to specify a range of Terrain Collection furniture for the renewed outdoor environment. Terrain Seats, Platform Benches, Benches, Tables and accessible table settings provide a coordinated family of elements throughout the reserve, supporting different ways for people to use and enjoy the space.
The result is a thoughtfully designed waterfront destination where landscape, infrastructure and outdoor furniture work together to support accessibility, everyday use and a more welcoming community experience.
