Project Overview 

The Miles Streetscape revitalisation project, spearheaded by Street + Garden, aimed to breathe new life into the Miles CBD with a distinctive range of outdoor furniture. The design brief called for benches, bin enclosures, bollards, stools, circular tables, and curvilinear seating that subtly referenced the area’s iconic Bottle Tree. Platinum Timber & Ply were proud to work alongside Street + Garden, supplying all timber products and bringing their innovative design to fruition through meticulous fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly. 

Design and Material Selection 

A key aspect of the project was to make subtle references to the Bottle Tree, an integral part of the area’s identity. The steel frames of each product were designed to reflect the bulbous shape of the plant and finished with an earthy bronze powder coat. This complemented the Spotted Gum timber tops Platinum Timber & Ply provided, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing final product. 

Fabrication and Manufacturing 

Platinum Timber & Ply’s expertise was crucial in expertly crafting and fabricating various F27 structural hardwood timber custom pieces, including tables, stools, curved benches, backed and backless benches, bin enclosures, and bollards. Each piece of hardwood timber was CNC machined with a curve that repeats across the furniture’s length, furthering the design’s organic nature. This meticulous attention to detail ensured that the furniture not only met the design brief but also stood up to the rigours of outdoor use. 

Installation and Impact 

The installation of the custom timber furniture suite transformed the Miles CBD, adding visual interest and functionality to the area. The combination of hardwearing, durable materials, provided by Platinum Timber & Ply, with a soft and delicate aesthetic resulted in a range of products that will continue to enhance the beauty and usability of the space for years to come. 

Platinum Timber & Ply’s involvement in the Miles Streetscape project is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovative design. By working alongside Street + Garden and supporting the fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly processes, we helped bring their vision to life, creating a revitalised CBD that reflects the unique identity of the Miles community.
