After three years of hard work the terraces have now been completed and subsequently celebrated with a BALI Principal Landscape Design Excellence Award, which was awarded in December 2015. Michael Bryn-Jones, Managing George PLC commented: Director, St “We are excited by the BALI Design Excellence Award, which is a mark of the high standard of design that Aralia has implemented at Chelsea Creek.
