The Pier, Kingston Foreshore, ACT

Kingston Foreshore is a mixed use development with residential apartments, office blocks, retail and food outlets on the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra.

The area aims to be a tourist destination that provides entertainment, art, cultural and recreational activities for visitors and locals. The designers wanted to preserve the area’s historical significance and provide a blend of landscapes and nature.
