Kristen London was a talented landscape architect whose work left a lasting impact on the communities she served.

One of her final projects was the design of Lae Street Nursery, where she worked closely with the local community to bring their vision to life. This project created a vibrant public open space area that now serves as a hub for social interaction, passive recreation, and connection to nature. At the heart of the park is a gathering circle which is embellished with a floral pattern. The design features Kristen's favourite flower from the Banksia tree, which have also been planted around the circle in Kristen’s honour.

Kristen’s passion for nature was evident in every aspect of her designs. She believed deeply in the power of the natural world to foster connections and enrich lives, and she used this passion as a driving force in her work. For Kristen, landscape architecture wasn’t just about beauty; it was about creating spaces that encouraged people to engage with the environment and each other. Her designs integrated natural elements, such as native plants and green spaces, to create inviting areas that inspired reflection, recreation, and social interaction.

Kristen’s commitment to improving the built environment has left a profound legacy that continues to benefit those who experience her thoughtfully designed spaces.
