In the exploration of gardening in South Australia, visitors are taken from the first local Indigenous groups, through immigration from Europe, to how people share their gardening techniques today.
Focusing on Unley's gardens and gardeners, visitors get to learn about every facet of gardens from the fences that surround them to the ornaments that dress them up to the plants and food they yield.

Adelaide Gaol museum wanted to display their vast collection of artifacts collected from the working life of the gaol from 1841 to 1988 in a new interactive permanent display. Restrictions on construction, as the building is heritage listed, enabled the construction to be self supporting and unattached to the fabric of the building.

Strathalbyn Museum is a small regional, volunteer run museum that exhibits rural artifacts and historical items from the area. The volunteers wanted to display their collection of historical cameras as well as tell the story of prominent photographers from the early days of Strathalbyns founding. The display was housed in one of the cells of the old police station where the museum is situated. Construction was done with help from some of the volunteers on a very frugal budget.
