Constructed as a horticultural display, research and education centre, The Calyx formed a special centrepiece of the Garden’s 200th birthday celebrations in 2016. One year after opening, The Calyx was awarded a prestigious Good Design Award.
The awards which have been around for over 50 years, endorse good design in Australia and provide consumers with a clear indicator of the cornerstones of good design across form, function, quality, safety, sustainability, commerciality, beauty and innovation.
In the next round of judging The Calyx will compete against other exciting public design projects including; the City of Perth, Hasset Park, Puli Garden, the Rhodes Peninsula Open Space Masterplan, the Tonsley Innovation District Urban Design & Public Spaces and Windsor Plaza.
