My design has a strong focus on the horizontal lines. This specifically emphasises and relates to the flat planes of the surrounding Blacktown region.

The purpose of my marker acts just as its name suggests, marks where the sportspark is, but furthermore marks a place for rest, and a place for gathering. The water plane adds serenity, the artisan seat under the shelter creates a habitable space.

The long reflective pool detail further express' this horizontal nature, and acts as a spirit level for the rest of the marker.

'Artwork' has been placed on the interior wall above the reflection pool to add detail and accentuate the horizontal lines of the marker.

Tall Gum trees and smaller trees are used in the landscape to create a permeable wall, shielding the visitors from the M7. Bird of Paradise plants have been selected due to the delicate beauty, colour and abundance in Australia.

Lighting has been strategically placed to illuminate the "Blacktown International Sportspark" sign on the very top of the marker as to indicate the location as dawn/dusk or night time. Further lighting has been placed around the space to create a welcoming environment both in the light or dark.
