The landscape surrounding the Soundshell acts as a natural backdrop – complimenting the architecture and retaining focus on the stage. Filtered views through to the landscape and lake behind maintains a connection between the amphitheater and surrounding natural landscape.

The planting palette is dominated by Australian natives, blending into the surrounding gardens and complimenting the natural amphitheater setting through subtle bursts of colour and elegant form.
