ATTRACTING DIVERSE AND ESSENTIAL BUSINESS
Anchored by the largest Coles supermarket in the region, Spring Farm Village will host major retail, commercial and medical spaces providing local residents with a convenient location to meet, eat and play. By attracting diverse businesses to Kingston, the new centre will also enhance employment opportunities outside of Hobart.
Spring Farm Village also provides benefits for new residents within the recently developed area. Tipleas’s vision is to create a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood activity centre in Kingston, nurturing a thriving hub of community life that fosters economic independence, active transportation, and a welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.
A CONVENIENT SPACE FOR CONNECTION
The neighbourhood activity centre is situated at a prominent gateway intersection within Kingston – forming an entry to the residential estate on Spring Farm Road, with vehicles entering Spring Farm Village from the Southern Outlet arterial south road.
Entering Spring Farm Village from the east, patrons will be greeted with a vibrant outdoor dining area, providing locals with a communal space to congregate and connect, further cementing the neighbourhood activity centre as a community venue.
INSPIRED BY NATURAL BUSHLAND AND VIEWS
The Spring Farm Village design prioritises local accessibility and ensures the development not only serves the community but fits seamlessly into it. Kingston, whilst only 15 minutes away from Hobart, has formed an independent identity, with rich access to nature and a coastal feel.
Prioritising a palette of earthy and organic colours, we leaned into design motifs that reference the natural architectural palette found in the nearby natural bushland. The use of materials such as timber, stone, metal and blockwork will also play a pivotal role in establishing a rich contextualisation for the development.
Making use of the expansive views to the North West, the upper level commercial spaces have also been positioned to offer views of Mount Wellington and the adjacent ranges.
The structure of Spring Farm Village incorporates natural forms and curves, inspired by the coves and inlets along the coastline of Kingston. The distinctive facade creates a welcoming and iconic space for visitors to congregate, while serving as a functional shading and wayfinding element.
