The North Point Vernacular is practical, fit for purpose, and constructed by simple, everyday objects. Located on the fringe of two distinctively different areas of North Point, #TackPoint is a transitional space that celebrates the essence of the neighbourhood and encourages social interaction. The translucent floating canopy co-created by the community that offers places to sit and pause, is accompanied by a series of adaptive street furniture modules that aim to bring locals and passers-by together. A range of accessories can be tacked onto the base structures to prompt different uses – one day a pop up market, and an outdoor screening space the next. #TackPoint is ever evolving and defined by those who use it. #TackPoint is collectively created, shared, and has the intention to be returned.
#TackTeam is formed by four devoted architectural designers, who met each other in their pursuits of public space design that could contribute to the community. The team strive to enhance the sense of belongings and relationships between people with the physical environment, society and dwelling. Through integrating design thinking and place-making, the team hope to reveal the essence of the locality by simple and small-scale design that is delightful to daily life.
