Wandering through the development would take the visitor on a journey, from the early indigenous connection with the earth, through human industrial and technological advancement, to the essential return and embracing of the natural world in our urban design. PowerHouse City will showcase how innovative technology of the modern world and nature can meld in a sustainable and resilient harmony.

A requirement of the PowerHouse City development precinct would be for occupants such as the hotels, cafes, offices, centres and residences to incorporate sustainable and ecological practices.

The use of local materials plus the themes and patterns of nature connecting to culture and heritage have created some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Our modern built environment provides little contact with the natural world and contributes to the breach between humans and nature. A global paradigm shift in how we build and design our cities is occurring and this is where the PowerHouse City concept is a platform for the Western Australian region to express its uniqueness and creativity and launch into the global sphere of influence via innovation through a large scale sustainable development of world significance.

Creating a precinct which demonstrates humanity’s place in nature and nature’s place in our urban environment can provide a space of urban sanctuary and enriching experiences. The precinct would be modelled as a functioning urban ecosystem, expressing a harmonious human-nature interface of respect and regeneration.

Such concepts would include pools and waterfalls on elevated levels, the shaping of building profiles to reflect the distant landscape of the Darling Ranges and the utilization of bio-morphic forms of nature.
