Artistic Placemaking Urban Design and Construction

POMO is an Award Winning Creative Placemaking Design and Delivery Practice

Creative Placemaking Designers

“Nobody else can do what POMO does”.
David, Landscape Architect.

We are specialists in designing and delivering art and artistic bespoke outcomes in the public realm. We work alongside landscape architects and others involved in public realm projects. We create layers of meaning and expression that generates very real connections between places and people and makes measurable contributions to local economies. 

Interpreting themes of people and place through a design process we artistically express those themes in public environments. Creative, artistic placemaking helps to create successful public places, it excites communities and it leaves a meaningful legacy.

Working from inception through to delivery our unique creative placemaking design and delivery process unifies people around a shared vision. Our technical skills in all facets of the design documentation & construction process allows us to deliver high quality creative outcomes that meet all standards yet remain true to their original vision. We work with a wide range of artists and specialist makers across Australia including First Nations artists.

We are relationship oriented, easy to work with and are always looking for collaborations of any shape or size.
