Exhibition Village (Stage 32) is part of the Sekisui House master planned community in Gledswood Hills. The site was originally the El Caballo Blanco equine theme park. The circular space links to the wider community by four roads & purpose-built path and future pedestrian crossing connecting to the existing development (Stage 31). After being the successful tenderer, Co-Ordinated Landscapes started work in 2021.

The final construction features community tennis court with high chainmesh fence and swimming pool with frameless glass pool fence, both are linked to the BBQ terrace.
The BBQ area, seats and table were constructed from salvaged logs from the site. These main features are complemented by natural landscaping elements such as sandstone retaining walls, steps, ramps and pavements.
Extra care was taken with the native restoration with plant stock ranging from 1000L to tube stock and over 1000m2 of turf was laid. A focus on storm water drainage included landscape swales to surface pits.

The challenge were the changes in grades and heights over small areas of the site, the team overcome this by introducing retaining walls. The project was well received from the client due to meeting milestones and budget.
