Docklands Hortus Project

Hortus is a new, exciting destination at Docklands Harbour Esplanade,  Melbourne. The project is a freestanding glasshouse pavilion that incorporates an edible plant installation by artist Lauren Berkowitz, a café by Seven Seeds and a space that can be adapted for community events. Places Victoria awarded the Temporary Activation of the Docklands Harbour Esplanade to ‘Utopian Folk’, a collaboration between Folk Architects’ Christie Petsinis and Tim Wilson, and Melissa Loughnan of Utopian Slumps.

Hortus means ‘garden’ in Latin and the glasshouse structure is located on the waterfront at Docklands adjacent to John Kelly’s Cow up a Tree sculpture. Although it is a temporary structure, it will stay at the Docklands site for some time to service the local community as a café and meeting place. It has been designed to be easily relocated and can be transported to another site should this be required. The pavilion itself has been made from a new high performance glass.  A removable canopy promotes cross-ventilation and helps diffuse light to maintain a stable internal environment. Passive cooling ventilation provides an effective alternative to air-conditioning, with an operable vent to expel hot air through the heat stack effect, while water tanks harvest water for the internal and outside gardens. Among those who assisted in creating Hortus by donating products and time include: Viridian Glass, The Glasshouse Company, FDC, Aecom, Philip Chun, Montlaur Project Services, Euroluce, International Paints, Stowe, Aston, City of Melbourne and Places Victoria. An underutilised pier in the Docklands has now been brought to life!
