Mirvac engaged Artify to prepare the Public Art Masterplan for Ador, a proposed residential development at The Peninsula Burswood on Whadjuk Noongar Country. The masterplan guided the commissioning and integration of public art across the project.

Ador was planned for Lot 29 + 22, one of the last remaining residential sites within Mirvac's award-winning Peninsula Burswood community. Set among landscaped gardens and public open space along the western boundary of the precinct, the development was envisioned as a collection of boutique mid-rise apartments and pavilion designs. It drew on the rich history and context of the site and the vision for Burswood Peninsula as an attractive, vibrant and sustainable urban setting with a diverse mix of housing, recreation and entertainment.

Complementing the architectural design and planning, a range of public art opportunities was proposed to enhance the landscape experience for residents, visitors and the wider public. The design vision emphasised organic forms in dialogue with the existing and emerging architecture of Burswood, with the precinct masterplan mirroring the undulating landscape of the peninsula shaped by the Derbarl Yerrigan.

The Burswood Peninsula is a rich tapestry of interwoven significance spanning deep time to the present day. Through the artworks, the historical significance of the area was explored through the lenses of First Nations and colonial histories. Two concepts were developed through the concept design stage. Lorenna Grant's art canopy and lookout layered information of historical and ecological significance, with a particular focus on the peninsula's ribbonweed meadows. Adam Cruikshank's integrated sculptural and interpretive work considered the juxtaposition of time and the cyclical reclamation of the land, centred on the Yanjidee (bulrush) and posing the question the artworks returned to throughout: what did Beeloo look like?
