Wolgan Valley - Emirates Luxury Resort, NSW
The Landscape Vision for the luxury resort was to create a natural landscape that enhances the site’s natural beauty and highlights the exceptional cliff backdrop and views of the Wolgan Valley.
The focus on eco-tourism and appreciation of the Australian environment strongly influenced the landscape design response, which highlights as its key themes: environmental stewardship, ecological integrity, biodiversity and protection of the values of the adjacent Blue Mountains National Park and World Heritage site.
