The Peartree Cafe

This area was once a barren and unused street corner in Hamilton Hill, located outside the friendly local Peartree Café. The space had potential — it was a degraded site with low ecological value, but the strong local community saw an opportunity for it to be actively used and loved.

Today, the space is a key part of the Peartree Café's identity, featuring abstract artwork from the project integrated into the Peartree branding on staff T-shirts. The project serves as a beautiful backdrop and outdoor seating area, a place for learning about sustainability, and transforms into a performance space for local bands each week.

This is our first eco-placemaking project that includes a 1-year-on impact assessment. The evaluation provides direct evidence of the many benefits of eco-placemaking and the positive impact the project has had on the local community.
