Habitat Cubbies are climbable sculptures inspired by nature and by the way children interact with their environment. The artwork
is both a place for adventurous play and a habitat for imaginative children, honeycombed with cocoon-like spaces to curl up in.

The cubbies were developed with Ryde Council landscape architects, to work sympathetically with the landscaping and planting
of native trees and grasses on site. Texture, colour and form give the artwork strong links back to the remnant Turpentine and
Stringy Bark forest in ELS Park. Ochres have been added to the concrete as it was poured so that the concrete visually relates to
the sandstone used extensively on the site.
