Co-creating Places
Big Space is a design and communications consultancy dedicated to civic and cultural placemaking.
We help developers, custodians and communities to create places that are more useful, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.
We focus on delivering significant public impact and an enduring legacy for future generations.
What We Do
We provide guidance and support to our clients and partners from initial stages of planning and design through to curating and delivering experiences ‘‘on the ground’’. Our services include:
Insights
Deep research into context, culture, visitor experience and opportunities for improving the vitality and liveability of places.
Engagement
Listening to diverse experts; envisioning the future; deliberately involving communities, co-designing with - not for - future users.
Strategy
Strategic, creative and practical guidance for transforming place - focusing on design, activation, story-telling and operations.
Projects
Exciting cultural and creative experiences in public places.
Our People
We are deeply committed to empowering First Peoples and communities to participate in public life, celebrate their culture and care for their environment.
Our expertise includes strategic planning and urban design, community engagement and communications, art curation, heritage interpretation and activation.
