The Room for Adelaide is seen as a temporary activation project which creates a platform for the people of Adelaide to take in one of the best views of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. The building will continue to operate as a car park with only the roof of the car park (which is an open car park deck), temporarily activated with pavilions and landscape elements. Its likely that the car park will remain in the foreseeable future and any opportunity to explore a re-branding of the facade through vertical screening that can support greening would soften the building as a back drop to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

A Room for Adelaide Lane creates an opportunity to extend the Northern Laneway link through the site and toward the Adelaide Botanic High School. With the temporary activation of the adjacent car park roof structure, the lane can provide a useful pre function space for events occurring on top of the building. In addition, the end of the site begins to engage with a potential urban agriculture site and could explore Water Sensitive Urban Design as an educational aspect to the space directly adjacent the Adelaide Botanic High school.

The Parklands Edge will be re-imagined as a new link that will take pedestrians from East Terrace into the Adelaide Botanic Park to the north and the Adelaide Riverbank. The challenge for this project is to achieve security while removing the visual barrier of a traditional fence. This space can create a bold new entry into the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
