HASSELL began the Port Coogee project in 2006. Partially complete, it now features beaches, marinas, a waterfront park, play areas and natural amphitheatre, as well as residential infrastructure

The overall strategy for the open space planning within Zhuhai was to create an iconic environment that builds upon the site's unique context, forming a CBD that looks outwardly to its waterfront and harbour

The 'LESS' Local-area Envisioning and Sustainability scoring System is a design decision-making framework developed by HASSELL to generate sustainable design solutions that lessen emissions, use of resources, and social disparity

The recreation and open space network provide high-quality, well-integrated and multi-functional landscaped areas of open space, accommodating a range of recreational and leisure facilities that meet the needs of the local community and also provide for attractive visitor nodes

The Summer Hill Flour Mills master plan presents a rare opportunity to retain and reuse much of the existing industrial fabric of the precinct. The landscaping will introduce open spaces with pedestrian links through the site to access a light rail transport service, currently under construction

The GCRT project will support the movement of athletes, officials and spectators at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and be a long-term catalyst for new investment and development on the Gold Coast – creating a spectrum of opportunity to manage and direct growth

The project is about creating a city which is in tune with its environment and allows the watercourse ecologies and economic development to work in tandem to create a truly liveable city for future generations. By re-embracing the rivers, the people are able to enjoy the landscape in ways not available to them currently. Through cleaner and more active waterways, urban ecology is improved and the city truly comes back to life

HASSELL was a finalist in a competition for social housing, organised by the Shenzhen Centre for Design. As part of the 2011 Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, the brief called for ideas that relate to three scales of thinking – 1 unit, 100 families, 10,000 people – encompassing urban design and planning, architecture and interior design

The design inspiration for the Tangshan landscape design is founded in the unique forms and qualities of the hot spring mines that characterise the area

one40william is one of Perth's most significant and influential projects, setting a benchmark in environmentally sustainable design and bringing new life to the city's retail centre

Terra Form Australis is a response to the irreversible effects of climate change, radically changing the Australian landscape. Increased migration, growing cities and an eroded environment will place pressure on productive land and ecology

As well as design responses to local areas, broader strategies for the whole of the Inner Metro Rim were considered, including freight routes, public transport provision, hierarchy of cycle routes, open space networks, storm water management, social infrastructure and diversity of housing, employment and services

The master plan focuses on the key precincts for development and renewal around the quay and integrates them with their locality, adjacent precincts, as well as future projects and plans. It ensures a cohesive solution that optimises strategic connections with the city, Barangaroo, Walsh Bay and Darling Harbour

The master plan balances the complexities of large crowd movements through the site on game days, while maintaining an active, comfortable and intimate retail environment. The buildings are designed as a strong family of forms, each with its own unique architectural identity reinforced through a rich palette of materials and detail

The urban design recognises the importance of establishing a community hub through the provision of schools, community facilities and a commercial precinct

HASSELL collaborated with engineers to prepare the Port Concept Plan, ensuring it highlighted the potential environmental, social and economic flow-on benefits through creating a vision for the area in 2050

HASSELL was engaged by the City of Salisbury to prepare a visionary set of landscape guidelines for the development of the city's public domain over the next 25 years

Through strategies for 'Built Form, Design and Density', 'Public Realm', 'Land Uses, Activities and Precincts', the Fortitude Valley Urban Vision provides a robust urban framework to guide the future planning to retain its inherent charm

The landscape strategies developed by HASSELL are part of wider planning initiatives to create a comfortable, attractive and sustainable urban living environment which enhances the local recreational, social and near city setting

HASSELL envisaged transforming the Darwin Waterfront from a redundant industrial port facility into a world class, mixed-use urban community attracting local residents, business travellers and tourists alike

The new city will be developed as an 'eco city', utilising both contemporary technology and traditional Chinese methods of soil and water conservation to minimise environmental impact

The award winning Kelvin Grove Urban Village is the first inner-city development of its kind in Australia – a master planned community that demonstrates best practice in sustainable, mixed-use urban development, and brings together educational, residential, health, retail, recreational and business opportunities

Many of the project's innovations have now become normal practice, such as the preparation of the park's activity based programs in tandem with its physical design. Also, by leaving many spaces unplanned, opportunity has been provided for future generations to explore their ambitions on the site

The design team balanced key functional requirements for security, communication, accessibility and clarity with symbolic requirements to physically express Australian culture and values – our belief in an optimistic future, the value of honesty, fairness and a hard day's work
