In 2011, Tyrrell Studio + Daniel Griffin won the international architecture competition 'Ideas on Edge'. There were over 150 entries to this competition, 40% of them international.

The concept focuses upon blurring the physical and metaphysical boundaries between the local culture of Parramatta, and its local ecosystem, finding moments of architectural drama at their junction.

The ‘Innovation Ecosystem’ submission was chosen as a winner after the judges found that “it brings nature and commerce together and encompasses mixed-use development, including housing, an aged care facility and just about everything you can think of.” Ken Maher

“What I look for in a city is that it’s a place where you can explore, have fun, engages you and has mystery. I think that the winning submissions really capture that,” Elizabeth Farrelly
