2001年，JMD设计团队赢得了一个国际比赛，获得了在新南威尔士州卡里翁设计一个占地8公顷的槟城山花园的机会。在那时，公共景观设计旨在突出澳大利亚特色，特别是悉尼的景观设计。JMD设计总监Anton James在设计槟城山花园时却没有机械的使用这些老套的景观设计方法。2003年，槟城山花园对外开放。在其10周年之际，公园突出了James对于公共花园设计持续有力的贡献。

槟城山花园的设计从表面看来似乎很简单——原来的沼泽花园（或者说水上花园）被改造成了一个高处的景观平台，上面是12块花园区间，有雕刻和浮雕。平台既是整个公园有组织的框架，又反映了这片地区的沙石地形。公园景观就像是漂浮在空中的。在赢得设计比赛之后，James获悉卡里翁市戈斯福德水务公司的管道穿过公园中心，因此不能在上面建设。这导致了原始方案的修改。公园设计从一个宽阔的广场式平台变成了一个不规则的平台，这样的设计使公园内部成了一个宽阔的聚会场所同时避免了对于输水管道的影响，边缘部分有“断裂”痕迹。原来水坝不规律溢出的水形成了一个水渠，这条水渠却意外的形成了水上公园。James对于大多设计难点的处理措施是将难点转化为机会，于是一个包含了许多室内花园的水上花园应运而生。水上公园和室内花园有机地结合在了一起。

Just over ten years after its completion, the Mount Penang Gardens by Anton James Design (now JMD Design) is considered an enduring and radical contribution to public garden design in Australia.In 2001 JMD Design (then Anton James Design) won an international competition to design Mt Penang Gardens, a eight-hectare park in Kariong, on the New South Wales Central Coast. At the time public landscape commissions were expected to celebrate and define Australianness and, especially in Sydney, the legacy of the Sydney Bush School. At Mt Penang, however, JMD Design director Anton James was able to reinvent this garden cannon without acquiescing to literal and didactic landscape approaches. Mt Penang Gardens opened in 2003 and, in recognition of its recent tenth anniversary, this piece highlights some of James’s enduring and quite radical contributions to public gardens.

The design of Mt Penang Gardens is deceptively simple – a raised plateau comprising twelve garden rooms, some incised, some embossed, set in a former hanging swamp or water garden. The plateau is both an organizing framework for the whole of the garden and a tectonic, abstract expression of the region’s sandstone plateau landscape. When I first saw the plan, before visiting the site, I couldn’t help but think of the pie floaters from the famous Harry’s Cafe de Wheels in Woolloomooloo. Little did I know then that this landscape floats both literally and metaphorically. After winning the competition, James was informed that the City of Gosford’s water supply pipeline bisects the middle of the garden and cannot be built upon. This forced an inversion of the original scheme. The design transformed from a large, square plateau with an organic fissure cut into its sides, into an irregular plateau that avoids the easement while providing a large internal gathering space, with geometric fissures incised into its edges. The haphazard and irregular overflow from the existing dam, which had previously created a scoured channel, evolved into a key element – the water garden. Since James’s characteristic approach to most design impediments is to turn site challenges into opportunities, the result is a series of highly sculpted tectonic moves and a water garden that cradles a series of interior gardens. The water garden both sequesters and seamlessly joins the interior gardens to their context.
