Green Nursery strives to bring excitement to Greens Road by stimulating the notion of an enjoyable, proactive, and public focused workplace. Combination of a children’s nursery with a plant nursery, targeted towards parents’ children who work in the local Dandenong South neighbourhood. The program creates a safe and family orientated community within Green Nursery. As it enables activities for regeneration of the environment and education orientated on sustainable practises useful for future generations. The theme of blue and green gradient is to visually link the importance of the water filtration system and revival of the natural environment.

This proposal consists of a plant nursery, day-care facility, distribution centre, and store, each intended to facilitate the growth and development of Dandenong South. This blend of programs allows for a multifaceted building and creates a scenario that is distinctive and engaging for the suburb. It brings the community together by fostering the lessons of living sustainably and bringing awareness to the water filtration system via the water pipe structure. The transparency of the ETFE cushion façade of the building promotes the awareness of regenerating the natural surroundings, as it differs from the industrial neighbourhood thus positively capturing people's attention.
